On the part of the defendant it was urged that the order was considered as referring only to bills of cost which had ndt been taxed before, and that it therefore did not include that bill which the proceedings complained of were lo stitnted, es it had been taxed already. The Loan CRANCILLOIL deferred pronouncing his de , vision until Saturday; hut intimated that a petition praying fur the defendant's commitment in the first in stance was a measure more rigorons than the circuits. s tances of the case required. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, MAY 1. Till KING V. BIENBOW. Thin defendant was convicted at the last Sittings in Middlesec, before the Lord Chief Justice, of publishing an indecent and obscene libel, in a work called Chevalier Paddies.

An affidavit was put in on b.haif of the defendant, attain g , defendant's contrition for th • offence of which he bad been coneleted„ and that before be had published the &Pelted libel, it had been published by several re. gettable booksellers. In a geravat•on of punishment, the prosecutors nut in an affidavit, that since the defendant bad been indicted, hr had continued the publication. Mr. 41. Corset*, in an ingenious address to the Court in mitleation of punishment, commented at considerable length upon the character of the libel, which he contended was more improper than some of the works of thee best writers of ancient and modern times, such as, Aris• tophanes, l'atullos, Pltny,Virgil, Horace, Ovid, Dryden, Po Wand Swift. . The Cour: said, it was a great object of these prose• cntions to withdraw from public observation these often sire publica•ions. With a view to etre the defendant ein opportunity of seeing what he could do towards getting in such copies as had been sold by him, •the case might stand over until to-morrow week, and it was adjourned accordingly.

JOSEPH WATSON. • The defendant stood indicted for publishing a profane libel of and concerning the Holy Scriptures, in a work celled " Palmer's Principles of Nature.' . Mr. HOLLAND stated the Mae for the prosecution, and celled evidence to prove the sale of' the work by the defendant.

He proceeded to read and comment upon some parts of the Bible. • 'Clammiest -•" You may read the Bible, but not make any comment upon it, it is both immoral, irreligi vas, and illegal ; let the case be what it may, I shall stop non." • Defendeat -" You see the situation I am placed in ; I :em charged with publishing against Christianity.— •Rilmtr, in the course of his writings, makes plumes 'from the Bible." Then read it from the book—no de- Cent man can sit here and hear it." • The defendant asserted that there was a conspiracy by R set of persons to prevent free discussion ; he published book for the purpose, and was there no person among all the priests, &c. who could answer the ques tions? He published the book, he said, for the purpose • ,of enlightening the people of England. The book, be Amid, was originally written by a good man, a member :of the Scottish Church, who bring driven out of this . wintry, foOnd refuge in America. The book then . passed through the United States, and was never found to be blasphemous; he said his persecutors hat but one le g to stand , npon —that was prejudice; he trusted the ',Miry would break that, and send them to Beddow Hos pital for a cure.

TfIE STATESMAN POLICE. nuti.OhaLt..—The family of Mr. Turner, silk.mereer, 160, Fleet-street have been much annoyed, and indeed alarmed, frequently, within the lass 10 to 12 months, by the receipt of letters through the twopenny post, sometimes addressed to Miss Elizabeth Turner, at others to Mr. William Turner, Mrs, Turner, &c., couched in terms wholly incomprehenslble to the family. During the same period a little girl, and occasioeally a bey, have called at the house to inquire for Miss Elizabeth 'turners and when interrogated, their answers have been elnally sisgelar and mysterious. The general purport of the letters implied souse love-affair, between the writer and Miss E. Turner; but as Mr. Turner's sister of that mope was a mere child, scarcely more than 13, and resident en tirely tin the country, and as the letters alluded to inter views, and money sent to her, the family mild form no probable conjecture upon the subject. On Monday afternoon, the girl (a child of nine years old) culled again. and asked to see Elizabeth Turner. Ott being questioned, she said her father had sent her. W h il e lilts. Turner was detaining her in conversation, Smith, the street-keeper of Fleet-street, was sent for, brit before his arrival, the girl had been let go. He, however, got sight of, and followed her into one of the adjoining courts, where be observed her join a middle-aged men, and learning on speaking' to her, that he was her father, be took them both into custody and brought them back to Mr. Turner's. Here the man's account of himself vas so incoherent, talking about Elizabeth's going to Ed monton on Wednesday, and the money he had sent to her by his son Allan, tt.c. all of which was totally unim telligible to Mr. Turner, that they at first thought him deranged, anti under all the circumstances it was thought right to take him and his daughter to the Compter. Whea brought bt:fore the Altigistrate, Mr. Alderman Bums, on Tuesday, the prisoner gave his wire Allan Altalillan, and stated biniselt to be a naval °facer .on balf.pay. residing at No. 2ti l Skinner-street, Bishops gate. The girl's name, he said, was Jane, and she was his daughter, Mr. Turner narrated the circumstances we have no• diced above, and produced two or three of the letters a' - holed to. but said he could throw no light at all upon the subject. It was wholly unintelligible to him, or any of - his family. fbe prisoner listened very attentively to Mr. Turner's statement, and an evident blush of shame roe in his countenance during the narration; and it was not till ; very closely pressed by the Alderman, that he could be; brought to enter into any explanation of his con luat.— He owned that the letters were his writing, and sent by Ihits to Miss Elizabeth Turner. This did hut darken the mystery. At length, finding that his charucter was likely to be impeached by the suspicion of a frail litlent attempt to obtain money, he confessed he now foitad that he had been imposed upon by his son Allan, and a party not known. Some months ago, lie said, Allan brought him a letter pure acting to be from Miss Eliza beth Turner, residing with her 'nether, at No. MI, Fleet-street, professing t;re affectionate regard site hail formed for hint. He returned an limner by his boy, and had, in consequence, an interview with a young lady, calling herself Miss Turner, in the Bethnal:green-road. Since that time, he had received many letters, purport ing to be from her, and the letters Miss Turner produced were his answers to. or inquiries about. her. boring this correspondence, he had at her request sent her mo ney at various times by this boy Allan, to the amount of upwards of 221. and what Mr. Turner had eons:rnekl in the letters as a demand for money, was his request for the re payment of a part of what he had lent Miss Eliza beth. He now saw that the whole was a deception prat tised upon him, through the means of his son, who had 'absconded front him ever since Thursday last. ' Being asked bow old his son Allan was, he st tted him to be just 12. That such a system of deception shon1•1 be practised by a boy of that age, seemed so improbable, and the story alrogether so strange, that the Nlegistrate doubted whether the prisoner w..s perfectly sane; and on his stating that he was "ell known to ()key, a Clerk in the East India warehouse, Bishopsgate. he was detained that that gentleman might appear. On Wednesday the mystery began to be cleared up. Mr. Okey made his appearance before. the Magistrate, bringing with him the grand machinator, little Allan who confessed that a big boy that he had got acquainted with, of the name.of Charley, who lives at Deptford, wrote the letters to his father in the name of Miss Turner, and when lie (Allan) got the money, the • big boy and he shared it between th erm and that he ran away because he was afraid his father would find him out. The only circumstance against the truth of this confession was, that he bad himself brought some of the letters to Mr. Turner's, which he moist bare known was likely to lead to a discovery. On these occasions, however, it appeared his father was with him, and watching to tee him deliver them. Mr. Okey spoke of the elder M`Nlillan as a gentleman incapable of a dishonest or dishonourable action ; and though his present appearance (his linen an 1 apparel being very dirty and shabby) was not in his favour, he assured the Magistrate he was what lie described himself —an officer in his Majesty's navy, and had performed his duty very gallantly upon several o ccasions. Mr. M`Millan, whose countenance was by no means farmed to captivate the female heart—for he squinted exceedingly —was then of course discharged. Little Allan was, however, detained, to be confronted with his friend Charley, in search of whom Brand, the marsbalman, was despatched to Deptford. From what occurred at Guildhall yesterday, we find that Brand, the Marshalman, succeeded in his excursion to Deptford. Charley, a lad about 14, the son of. Mrs. Grout, who keeps a little school, was easily found, and he and his mother very willingly accompanied Breed to town. Ott the Magistrate, Mr. Atrlerman BIRCH, taking his seat, Charley Omit, and little. MLitt NltAlillan, Iwho had been kept separate, were confroated with each other. Little Allan was then called upon to repeat his for mer testimony. He now, however, varied his story, and allowed that CL ale) , was no party in the plot, but that he (Allan) applied to him first to write the letters. After a long investigation, it ultimately turned out that littie Allan was the sule contriver of the whole scheme that he bad once before practised it with success, was al- Ilowed by his father himself, an 1 so complete was his in- I l a t ua tion, that he had been commit to have a young lady I passing along in the Bethnal-green-road pointed out by ittle Allan to him as a Miss Elizabeth'Turner, and this was all he meant when be previously stated be had bad 'interviews with her. The n rare of Turner had been adopted by accident, young Allan having seen it written up over a door in Fleet-street ; the Chrtstiai name, Eli sabeth. was a fortunate guess. The elder M'Afillen produced the letters he bad re vived front the .opposed Miss Tunica, which, cleated his chancier from all imputation of knavery, but aliened that he had bein duped in a most extraortlitrary way. The Magistrate at length dismissed the w h a l e alfeir. Bois-writeeit.—Una of the most piconestmely-vimera bleold non we ever beheld in real life, was brought be fore Sir It: 11'1011s y. 'terries., as a rogue and vagabond. He stattaltiniself to be one hundred and live sears old, and we are almost tempted to believe him, note itlistand leg all that was said to the contrary. Above the ordi nary stature, he hat a fine Socratic countenance ; his eve. serenely placid as the mountain eagle's. his hair and hieuriant beard shone like Silver, and were literally white ,as 'bow: He Was remarkably' sitorigiir,—bat still there sips a • tremulous stitittrepitlisle' in its voice and action which bespokt. a Multitude of years. His deem, too, was l as s in g ular a . his From.

A couple of short strong wallA ink s'icks completed the exterior of this singular being. he patrol dated that they found him begging in the Legreat silversmith's shop at the corner of Sydney's-all o w. Leicesterisquare, and knowing him to be a common beg gar, they took him into custody. Sir RICHARD put a number of questions to him, and the following is the substance of his replies : His name is Win. Johnson. and he was born at Camp-I tai's-town, or Camplvelton, in Argyleshire, in the year I 1717. His mother was a Highland woman, but his ft. titer 'war a Lowlander, of Dumfries, and was killed at the battle of Cub ten loor. He had five brothers, who 'were soldiers in one regiment, and they all fell at the bats tie of Hunker's-hill. For himself, at the age of twenty. he enlisted in the Scotch Greys, and continued in that regiment notil the death of George the Second, when b. joined the 411 Highlanders, or Highland IVatch; as they were then called. With them he eontinuel twenty years. and during the early part of the last war he, served in various regiments, both on the Continent and in the East Indies. He had now, be said, a pension of sixpence a day. In giving this account ou r himself, however, it so hap pened that he could not recollect the name of the Colo nel Commandant of scarcely any one regiment in which he stated himself to have served ; and Ilia memory seemed equally defective as to the Generals under whom he had tuned. Sir Richard blirnie's extensive know ledge of these matters completely puzzleirthe old soldier and detected him in many ...Troia. Ile attributed this to a memory impaired and " blunted," as he expressed him self, by age en I troubles, and persisted in the general rorrectnees of his story. He declared lie had seen Prince. Charles previous to the battle of Culloden, but he could not describe his person. Sir Richard asked him whether he could speak in Erse, end put a question to him in that language; but he decline! answering it, and said lie did not know muds of it, " bemuse be was broncht op in Glasgow." Sir Itteitaan expressed his surprise that he did not re tire tohis native place, in Scotland, and live there upon leis pension. The old man rep i ietl that lie went to Scotland when the King was there; but, finding only one person alive of whom he had knowledge, be retu:ned to London.— He concluded by sawn:, " I am not a common beggar, as these men have a'leged, neither have I lifted my bon net to man or woman this day." Unfortunately for hint, however, a clerk of the Men iliei:y Society, flaying heard of Isis apprehension, attend ed, and declared hilts to he a gross impostor. The fact was, lie said, that he ens put upon the pension list at Chelsea in the year 1795, at which tune he give his acre ; and of course he could not now be more than 82. The Society had made every inquiry into his case, and hail done every Hong for hint that could be done.— " ll'hat have you done," said he, addressing the pri soner.—" What have ton dune with the coat we gave von " Worn it out," replied the white haired vet . ran ; "two years is a long time to wear one coat, hard lodged and butte:ted about as I hive keen." Eventually the worthy Magistrate expressed his re. gret et sending a man of his years to prison, bat the fact of Isis begging had been distinctly proved, anil that, combined with many discrepancies in his story, m tde it imperative upon Itott. • lie titer fore ordered that he should be committed twit the next Sessions, and h e re commended 1 • to retire to his native place as soon as he rerovertd his liberty. TOWN IIALI„ SOUTHWARK.—IIenry Walsh anti J o hn Pales, alias Mason, were brought np on snspicion of being concerned in the robbery of country bankoicees to the amount of 1,238!. hum the Cranhrook waggon on Wednesday week. 'f he notes were put in a tin box, which was deposited in an iron chest made fast in the waggon, and both securely locked.—The prisoners were remanded unto Tuesday. On Monday night last, about teno'clo. • most de structive conflagration broke out on the large and excel lent farming establishment of Mr. Thomas Reynolds, at Raddon Court, Thoverton, Devon, which, in a short time, totally destroyed the barn. outhouses, threshing machine, ;shout 200 bushels of wheat, and a loge wag gon laden with wheat and cider, which was to have been sent off to Exeter. EXTRAORDINARY AFFAIR—A great sensation hss been excited at Brighton during the last week by a circum stance unparalleled in the annals of the town. A gen tleman who has attained great celebrity by acts of fanci ful philanthropy with 'which his name is associated, and who has been residing at Brighton for about a week past, was, in consequence of information given at the Police, broiled before Sir David Si ott on Saturday I sq, together with Archibald Robinson and his wife, keepers of a well-known house of ill-fame, and as many as four• teen or fifteen females of abandoned character. The above gentleman, it appeared, had with that eccentricity which at all times distinguishes his conduct, entered Ito billion's house, where he distri bitted money and clothes to these poor creatures, the report of which spreading far and wide, lie had soon a numerous list of appliecnts for bounty. Among these was one young girl from Lewes, and another from the virinity of the Devil'! Dyke, and in this manner he presented as many, we understand, as twenty-five with a sovereign each, and to the greater part of them besides an order to a liner;-draper for goods to the amount of ten shillings. It would have been well if his intercourse with them had terminwed here ; hut when it became known that scenes of the grossest indeli cacv were taking place, it was judged necessary to in terfere and prevent the repetition of these outrages on de. coney and morality. Of these scenes some idea may be formed when we state that too young girls, one of them thirteen, and the other only ten rears of age, were sent up to Mr. —, by the woman of the house for a purple. unusual, we would fain hope to Englishmen, but to which we cannot more particularly advert, the latter— we shudder while we record so revolting a fact—being her own daughter : whom, sensible and ashamed of the infamy of her conduct, the unnatural mother introduced under a fictitious name. A good deal of difficnlty was expesienced by the officers in getting admission to the house, and they were obliged to have recourse to strata gem before they could succeed The disgusting facts have been satisfactorily established. Mr. M. was bound ' over iu heavy recogniaanres to be of good behaviour, as were also too si f Mrs. Robinson, who had been privy to what was going forward, and had shared in the vile profit exacted hrthese unprincipled creatures from the objects of his misdirected bounty. For not contented with the usual c mtributions levied On those who resort to such !mots of vice, they actually claimed and re- 1 ceived from each of these poor girls the coin of twelve shilling and sixpence, before they were suffered to quit the house. A prosecution was ordered to be instituted en behalf of the parish ag: - .:nst Itobioson and Isis w:fe, who gave bail themselves in 1001. and two sureties iu 751 each for their appearance at the Sessions to answer the charge, so that an establishment which has, we un ler stead, existed in Brighton no less than seventeen years, will' at length he deservedly broken up. We are in pos session of many more particulars, such, however, at we must forbear to detail ; but we cannot refrain from ex pressing oar regret that a person, who was formerly a healboiough of this place, should have given informa tion to the keepers of this brothel of the measures which were being taken agaiusl thew.—(llrieston Gazette) ;lock, -moo -._ - diiMMEI A fellow of the woe of Amos, was last week snore belated at Bath, on a charge of uttering notes of Brick mlele's Taunton Bank, which stopped payment llama 'years ag.s. A Giese PonTexc-earahaa —Yesterday morello', as ill-looking old woman went into the shop of Mr. Burton, baker, (levet Portland-street, and bought a penny roll; which she stayed eating till all the people were gone out, except Mr. Burton's daughter, who had the rare of the sloop, when the old wretch fixed her eves on !lie girl far attune tient, with great attention, and at length told the girl that by the lines in her face she could per • reins that she was born to good fortune, and if she would give her a shilling, she would direct her to a placer where there was a settee deal of hidden treasure conceal. ed • accordingly the girl gave her a shilling; the gipty looked at the p dms of loth her (the girl's) Islands, and after pretending to examine them, she directed her to i in . () a certain corner of the cellar, and dig np the ear and at the depth of a few inches, she would find a stone jog full of gold and silver coin; anti she booed w hen she found it she would give her a piece of gold in al dition to the shilling. The pour simple girl went as &- meted, and after searching some time and finding her expectations disappointed, returned to the shop. when she dismtvered that the old woman uas gone, having- stolen a silver watch o hit two gold seals and key, 4 silk shawl, and other article: out of the inside roust : fortunately the till whirls contained some money was locked. i n , young woman ran immediately to the Duke of Sussex publicdsonse, and informed Mr. in:r rester the landlord, of the robbery, and he, with some persons who were in the tap-rooin, followed in per t oit ; hot although she and her dress was very remarkable, she had effected her escape. Mr. Burton, in the coarse of the afternoon, gave information of the robbery at thedifferetst poliecedfices, and a rt.-scrip ion of she of I gips) , fortune-teller; and we expect from the vigilance of the police officers soon to hear that she is in custody. She appeared to be between 40 and LO year+ old, mi.tr;:e size, rather thin, very black hair an I ryes, olive com p'exion, long, sharp, piercing visage. She wore an o! , t dirty threadbare red cloak, and au old ragged hla‘ is straw bonnet. On Friday lase, Mr. John Bennett, riling offieee, sta tioned at Mullion, near Penzance, was fo,nd lying in sensible in the ro id near Porthlearen. He was tinned - arely taken to that place, and every p a-sms*ati .0 &Worded him ; hut though lie heed tintll tote next tsiurr.- isig. he manifested no signs of returning cansciamaness.

ENECCTlON.—Wednesday morning, pm-scant to Lit sentence at the list Assizes for th • comity, holden in Taunton, George Steelman, age I 27 years, was executed on the new droll, at Ilchester. Tusk nefariunate wan was a native of Soinerse. In early life he bewail* ad dicted to the most vile anal sinful prultens . eies, till at length his crimes brought him under tte cu.enizance of the law, for previously to time commission of the above offence, he had received the sentence of death. But even this awful circumstance did not or rite as a check to his depraved inclinations. Ile was trued on a charge of rah bing and cruelly beating J. Lucas uo the highway. The evidence adduced was of time most convincing nature, and left n ) doubt on the minds of the jury as to tree prisoner's guilt. Tire prisoner treated Lucas erectly, robbed hint of his watch, rifled his pockets of lis. its silver, and bear ing a road-waggon approaching, left !dm in the toad apparently dead. Ever since his con viet.un lie conduct ed himself with Christian resignation, ackuo tl Aged the Ins nets of his sentence, and seeme to feel a great consolation that be had not committed murder on the prosecutor. ExECUTlON.—Yesterday morning William Arttury convicted at our last Assizes, of coining counterfeit im o ney, was, pursuant to his sentence, executed in front el the Couiry WA He was conducted to time p'atform at ten o'clo k. on which he was attended by the Rev, IL lamingliarne, the Chaplain, with whom* he continued a short time in prayer ; after which he was lanhched loges eternity ; and his body, after having been suspended the usual time, was taken down, and given to his friends for interment. The fate of this unfortunate young man if an awful lesson to the indiscretion of youth, and of the consequences of improper conneziotis. Unsuspicious and unguarde I, he became at a very ea: ly period of life a prey to the wicked designs of those who have now b;- come hoary in the couitariesion of that ;rime, for which ate has fallen a victim in the prime of manhood. The compunctions of conscience haul operated most power fully upon him since his condemnation, and he had de voted his mind to that spiritual applicatim which is time only source from which consolation can be anticipated unties suds trying and awful circumstances. His gene ral conduct and deportment since that period was the very reverse of that delusion under which he was led astray; and by penitence and resignation he was enabled to sustain his last conflict with the greatest firmness. — The unhappy culprit acknowledged his guilt, and de clared that be freely forgave the individual by whose . persuasions and artifices he was brought to an ignocre- Mous end. Asubury was a native of Birmingham, acd by trade a gilt ton-maker. He was 32 yea's of age, 37 ' 4 lies left a wife and two children to deplore his unused! end. May his awful dissolution be to them and whereat lasting warning !—Our readers are aware that his slit and mother-in-law, (a woman nearly fourscore years of age) took their trials with him for the same offence, bit were arquitted ; and that at the time of Isis apprehere sion, very extensive apparatus for coining, 500 LI ml 3 for sixpences, and 4,104 perfect sixpences, ready for close Latium were found upon his pretuis..s by the police-el& errs.— (Warfel's* Adr.)
