LlNERPOOL, NON. ZL.-DuTlllS yesterday
afternoon the city was shrouded in a re-
markably dense fog. The river and harbor
were rendered so obscure that navigation
became extremely perilous and was greatly
impeded. Creeping up from the river into
the city, the fog caused almost midnight
darkness. Street lamps and shop windows
were lighted up, but the density of the fog
rendered even pedestrianism dangerous,
and i'll the street horses could scarcely be
made to move. A number of minor acci-
dents are reported but none of serious
character.
10 A. M.-The fog still continues Last
night the steamer Cherbourg collided with
an unknown bark and five persons were
drowned.

THE GAMBETTA-FOURTON FARCE.
New York. Nov. 22.-The Graphic's Paris
cable says; The anticipated duel between
NJ. Leon Gambetta and M. Fourton, Ex-
Minister of the Interior took place early
yesterday morning. M. Gambetta, it is said
resorted to almost every means to avoid it,
short of offering an abject apology, but NJ
Fourton was determined to fight. He is re-
ported, however, to have been greatly dis
satisfied at M. Gambetta choice of weapons
and at the distance agreed upon by the Sec
onds, thirty-iye PAGES. Early in the morn
ing the combataDts with their seconds and
surgeons repaired to the ground chosen
near Chattilon, and the duel took place.
As was expected, the exchange of shots was
quite harmless and neither party was
touched. Paris is laughing over the affair
to-day.
