THE FOG YESTERDAY.—At an early hour yes-
terday morning a dense fog settled down upon the metro-
polis, and continued throughout the day and evening,
causing all the usual annoyances, and materially impeding
the transactions of business. Towards the evening the
omnibusses from Hackney to the Bank gave up running,
as did also those from Kingsland to Camberwell-gate; and
if any vehicles ventured a journey it was found necessary
'to have link boys in front to guide the horses. On thg
different railway lines fog signals were placed on the rails,
which were heard continually exploding. There were fre-
quent collisions on several of the roads, the consequence of
which was that much damage was sustained by them. In
the Hackney-road some daring assaults were committed, by
persons who, there is no doubt, had recourse to them for
the purposes of robbery, the occasion affording a very fa-
vourable opportunity for such pursuits. There is little
doubt but that many persons have received serious
injuries.
