London.
The Bight Hon. Fandell Phillips, Lord Mayor of London, has declined to open an Indian Famine Belief Fund until he has been requested by the Government to take such a step. A singular accident has occurred at the Devonport dockyard. A vessel engaged in putting down drills for charges of dynamite was during a gale driven over the area of the explosion, with the result that she capsized, when the charge went off, and the crew were thrown into the water. Fifty of them were rescued with difficulty, while two lost their lives.
