The war in South Africa has resulted in the worst theatrical season known for years in London (says a correspondent). Most of the costly holiday pantomimes which usually continue until the end of January wove forced to close their doors aft‘-r a few weeks’ run, hnv ing entailed large deficits. “The Bello of New York.”, which hav played to crowded houses for two years, suddenly found itself without audiences, and was bundled off hastily to this country to prevent a loss on it. Charles Wymlham lias a now theatre on his hands, and an elaborate im .unting of “Cyrano deßergerac” underway, but it lobks as if he would have to delay this venture, which has been announced for the middle of next month. An American aclor to be caught in the depression is Robert Taber who lias just leased tlio Adelphi, to produce “ Bonnie Doon/’lby Sir Henry Irving’s son, Laurence. A runaway from the field is Forbes Robertson, who has dissolved partnership with Mrs Patrick Campbell and gone to Cor&ica for a long vacation. Even Beerbohm Tree, Sir Henry Irving’s chief competitor in London, whose sumptuous production of “ A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” under ordinary circumstances, would be a pecuniary success, is said to be losing heavily. Mr Tree’s productions of “ Julius Ceesar and “ King John ” enjoyed long runs, ami it seems un fortunate that his latest Shakesperian revival should be ruined by the war.

After the battle of Belmont (writes a correspondent of the Cape Times) the men were much exhausted, having been marched off without their blankets. They suffered most, however, from thirst, and as there was only one spring the regiment had to take it in turns to got water. The Coldstreams suffered most, having had a night march to arrive in time,for the and had, moreover, no waterßtrt. This being made known to the Northumberland Fusiliers, who were to have first turn at the spring, they at once waived their right and gave up their turn to the Coldstreams, an act of kindness which was much appreciated, and will never be forgotten.
