MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.

The sessions commenced this day before B. ROTCII,
Esq., and a Bench of Magistrates.
Daniel Lennien and Timothy Conway were tried for
stealing 601bs. of lead from the premises of Mr. Thomas
Slater, a builder, at Kensington. The prosecutor stated
that both the prisoners were in his employ, and having lost
a large quantity of lead, amounting to 1,500 cwt., he was
induced to suspect them, and on Lennien leaving his pre-
mises be caused him to be searched, when part of the
lead, now produced, was.found concealed about his person.
On searching the lodgings of Conway another portion of
lead was found, but the prisoner was not present.
The Jury found Lennien Guilty, and acquitted Conway.
Thomas Wilson was indicted for stealing a hat and hat-
box, value 152., the property of Mr. John Poland, surgeon,
in the King's-road, Chelsea. The Jury found him Guilty.
The Court sentenced him to be transported for 7 years.

MRS. SIiELLY'S NEW NovEL, " LADORE."—
" The author of Caleb Williams,"' observes the Morning
Herald, " is no less a father to the writer of ' Lodore,' than
to her style of composition.• The great distinction of the
class of novelists to which she belongs, is, that they are not
mere raconteurs—narrators of adventures—they make incident
wait upon character, and not character upon incident. Lo-
dore,' without regard to its other merits, deserves to be con-
sidered a work of deep feeling, and delicate moral scrutiny.
Its incidents are singular ; its great purpose is to compare two
females of noble nature, who have been very differently brought
up—the one without restraints, and the other under the in-
fluence of an equally assiduous and affectionate culture. The
detail in which both are described, as well as some other cha-
racters in the book, is very beautiNl. The spirit of the
Authoress is full of kindly philosophy, and it is sustained with
fervour to the conclusion of her tale."
RomNEY MARSH.—Notwithstanding the recent
refreshing rains, the disastrous effects of the long drought are
still felt by the graziers in this extensive district. The supply
of water in the ditches for some months past has been kept up
by admitting the sea ; and this, with the great want of natural
food, has proved highly pernicious to the stock which has been
suffered to winter there. Immense numbers have died; and
many of them, in apparent health, have dropped down in a
manner surprisingly sudden. It is not unusual to see bullocks
that have necessarily been taken from the pastures slung up in
the lodges to enable them to feed. The fall of lambs is calcu-
lated at not more than sixty-five to the hundred of last year ;
and some klea may be formed of the general mortality from
the circumstance of one grazier having, within a short period,
sent to the tan-yard upwards of 300 skins of animals of every
class, that have fallen victims to the fatal epidemic.—Maia-
stone Journal.
