PUBLIC DINNER TO JOHN O'CONNELL,
Esq., M. P.—A public dinner was given at Liverpool, on
Saturday, to John O'Connell, Esq., Member of Parlia-
ment for Athlone, to afford an opportunity of ascertaining
the public feeling in Liverpool, on the repeal of the legis-
lative union between England and Ireland. The result
does not tend to inspire much hope in favour of the agitation.
EXTRAORDINARY OCCURItENCE.—In the af-
ternoon of Wednesday week, the inhabitants of Old Bas-
ford were is a state of excitement and consternation un-
paralleled within the memory of its oldest inhabitants, with
the exception of the day when the murder of Greensmith's
children by their parent gave such a shock to the minds
of many that months could not eradicate. Upon inquiry
we learnt that about half-past four of the day already men-
tioned, Mr. Herbert Twells, a shoemaker, observing that
the curtains in the house ar.d chamber occupied by Ri-
chard Rose, framework-knitter, and his wife, from whose
residence he lives several hundred yards, were not drawn,
he informed his wife, who instantly sent one of her chil-
dren to inquire of one of Rose's neighbours whether they
had been seen during the day ; the child bringing word
that no one had seen either Mr. or Mrs. Rose, Twells
and his wife proceeded to the house, and perceiving the
key to be in the house door, they were sure that some
dire disaster had befallen them, and immediately forced
open the door. On entering the house there was not any
smoke but a strong smell of sulphur pervaded it. On
opening the door which led to the chamber the smell of
sulphur was stronger, and on entering the room it was in-
tense. They were now horrified at discovering Mrs. Rose
lying in bid with her head over the bed-stock; from her
mouth a large quantity of froth had issued and was still
issuing. Her husband was still insensible. The eyes of
Rose were closed, but one of his wife's was partly open.
Their countenances presented a ghastly and death-like
appearance. On Monday Rose and his wife were removed
to the Union Poorhouse in a light tilted or covered cart,
but so much was the poor fellow reduced, that he was
obliged to be carried from his residence to the conveyance
in a blanket. Mrs. Rose, however, was so much re-
covered as to be able to walk from the house to the cart.
'She was about 38 years of age, and her husband 29. They
bad no family. The accident arose in the following man-
ner :—On Tuesday night Mis. Rose complained of being
