      We derive new lower bounds for the first eigenvalue of the Laplacian in a bounded n-dimensional domain with Dirichlet boundary conditions. The lower bounds obtained are related to those of \textit{J. Cheeger} [Probl. Analysis, Sympos. in Honor of Salomon Bochner, Princeton Univ. 1969, 195- 199 (1970; Zbl 0212.449)] and \textit{R. Osserman} [Comment. Math. Helv. 52, 545-555 (1977; Zbl 0374.52008)], and they turn out to be sharper when the domain is not too far from being a ball.
