A VETEIIAN.--Amongst the persons who pre-
sented themselves before the magistrate at the Marlbo-
rough-street Police-court to have their pension papers
signal, was one named John Benson, 85 years of 'age.
" Old John," the name he is better known by in Soho, was
born in St. James's parish, and enlisted when a very young
man, being at the time only 5 feet 4 inches in height. There
was some hesitation, he says, at first in taking him, but he
was enlisted with the remark that " perhaps he would
grow ;" "but," says the poor old fellow, " I did'nt." " Old
John" was at the taking of Copenhagen, the siege of Flush-
ing, the taking of the Dutch fleet at Texel, all through the
Peninsular campaign, having a medal and six clasps for
Toulouse, Pyrenees, Salamanca, Fuentes d'Onor, Busaco,
and Egypt. He was also at the battles of Comma, Alex-
andria in 1801 (whore ho lost part of a finger), &c., and has
served under the Duke of Wellington, Sir John Moore,
Sir Alan Cameron, &c. Ho is in receipt of one shilling a
day pension, and through the kindness of the neighbouring
tradesmen, ho says, he manages to get along. 'The poor
old fellow lives at 20, Peter-street, St. James's, a; td «of a
