THE EFFECIS 01,"1-11F FOG.

Though iti another column vie have given a list
of accidents which htive occurred in consequence
of the Fog wilid) has lately prevailed io the Me-
tropolis, we are concerned to and, many (oilers
ate now carne to our knowledge, of a different
character, but equally iiveresiing to the Public.
A few of them we shall here briefly state, anti re-
serve the rest fora ficure occasion.

In the City of Westminster the gloom was such, that the
most sharp-sighted Electors could not see any thing in
Mr. Ifolitionse to qualify hint to n present them in Parlia-
ment. That Gent It:il4Ml'S Committee too, in consequence, of
the Fog, fell into some very distressing mistake's. Fre-
quently, where they thought they had found some of their
friends, it turned out that the parties they accosted were de-
cidedly in favour of the opposite interest. In one case the
feelings of a Committee-man were very much hurt. flaying
treated a suppoi.ed independent, who happened to he in the
tap-room at the Red Lion, with a glass of gin and hitters, be
proceeded to business in the usual way, with " Well, my'
honest friend—flohhouse for ever !—Now who do you like ?'
"Like!" replied the fellow, " Like ?—why I like Max-well/
Mr. Woolcr was seen in a very pitiable situation. He had
groped his way into Guildhall, near the place where the
Bankrapo' Commissioners usually sit. He was looking for a
seat in the Court of Con»on Council, but could not filed his

side of the door.

Doctor. Watson and Gale Jones cauld not see a fee or a
patient on either of the two last days.

Nlr.Sturch could not see why the Westminster Committee
should send him to Coventry.
Sir F. Burdett could not see the thousand pounds be lately
watt, for Ward Mr.liobhouse's election, nor any thing likely
to TVS nit from it iinlivottr.of aia friend the young shouter.
Mr. Hunt could not see any chance of creating a new riot,
or of making himself more truly contemptible than he is at
present.

Mr. Tierney could see no probability of ousting Ministers
in the new Parliament.

Lord Castlereagh could see no reason to care a straw fur
any thing that could be done by the present Opposition.
Mr. P. Moore could see nobody paying to see the new
Tragedy of " Brutus."
The Friends to the Petition for a new Corn Bill could not
see that there would be any harm in starving the poor, in
order to check the spirit of emigration among the lower
orders.
The Gas Light Company's servants at Peter-street, West-
mihster, could riot see to supply the Company's customers
with the quantity of light for which they had stipulated, mad
itt cousetvence many had to complain that they only did
enough to make •‘ darkness visible."
But the most distressing case of all was that of Major
Cart wright, who, from the extreme thickness of the tog, could
not rest! his own pamphlets on Parliamentary Reform. This
calamity was the more severely. felt, as he was unable to find
ttny body else that could read then► to him. A number of
westminster Electors were applied to on the occasion, some
of whom had learnt the alphabet, but, at a late hour last
night, none cuuld•be found to go through them, or to see the
utility of one of them.—(Bitl.)
