NO NEWS.

* No news is good news.” Yet it is not wonderful that the people are impatient at the laek of news from South Africa. The aituation there is intensely ixterest- ing. There is a deep personal interest in those who have fallen in battle, and there is a morbid desire after a knowledge of bloody particulars. Apart from this the present situation in South Africa excites universal attention. On the east and on the west alike the British troops are close to the enemy and are expected to force the fightiog. But as delay in the vieinity of Ladyemith ie advantageous to the advance of the forces under Gentrals Gatacre and Methuen it is possible that the delay at this point ie of eet purpcse. The absence of news from Lord Methuen may be ac- counted for by the fact that he is wounded, or he may desire to date his next despatch at Kimberley.
