India.—Matters are still critical in India. A despatch from that country dated November 14 states that Lord Minto, the viceroy of India, and his wife, Lady Minto, had a narrow escape from being killed by bombs. Two bombs were thrown at their carriage while they were driving through the street. A dragoon caught one of them and hurled it into a sand heap; the second struck a native lieutenant holding an umbrella over Lady Minto and fell harmlessly to the ground. Both of them, falling in the sand, did not explode.
