KENSINGTON 141101-EMENTS.—The projected new villas on the site of the Royal kitchen gardens at Kensington Wilt be of a very ornamental character, and will extend on both sides of the new road, excepting on that portion of the site intercepted by Kensfrigton Palace, the villas being continued on the opposite side towards Kensington-green. The principal feature of the improvements contemplated in this district, by the Woods and Forests is undoubtedly the formation of a great and leading thoroughfare from Baysvta:er to Kensington, which will be a great boon to the inhatiitans of the vicinity. A turner, named Peget, was lately tried before the Paris Court of Assizes, for the murder of a man named Chollet, who excteised the same calling as the accused. The decemed returned home to the Rue St. Martin, 157, one night in October last, bathed in blood from a.large wound on his right temple. He had on a cap which was net his own, and held in his hand a knife which he said he had snatched from a person who had attacked him near the Canal St. Martin. The aggressor, he stated, first asked hint the way, and on receiving the information ha sought, suddenly rushed on him, and, in a struggle, inflicted the wound on the head. Chollet grew grate dually won e, and tirattPr. '1 he an. Cj.e'i W:i3.taitil up for hung _heard to at last died. giving the same account of the h& lAA tieen night ee and wily got rid of them by sti•ii‘h,g about right and ieic with his knife. On the trial he persisted in the same statement, and, his character being good, he was acquitted.  back with a loss of more than 400 men killed and wounded ; two officers killed and nine wounded. I have this moment had a full account of the engagement from Captain Liptroft. He says that at his second' cut on a man's head, his sword bent double. He Mates the disorder to be more than he can describe. When the firing eommerced, the elephants arid bo4rd, and upset every thing in their flight in a narrow pass. Ycu may imagine the confusion. Colonel White has just returned from the Adjutant-General. We shall halt here to-morrow. The Commander-in-Chief follows us in three days. " Loodianah, Feb. 10.—We received the Governor-General's proclamation last night. He will retake Cauhul, and carry fire and sword through Affghanistan. We are ordered to push on as fast as possible, and cross the Suticdge at Ferozepore on the 20th, with one troop of horse artillery,' one native and some Rissalah ; the first division under Colonel White ; second division, Ist cavalry, her Majesty's 31st Foot, , one Native Infantry, and flis'alah. The whole army will be formed at Peshawur, but who will command is not yet known. It will be a two years' campaign at least, and we shall have plenty to do, as the whole cry is for Dragoons. We shall have no end -of detached duty, as the country will not allow of us acting in any large body. We shad have great difficulty in feeding our horses, as but few grasscutters will go on. It. is supposed that ten or fifteen fresh regiments will be sent direct from England. Not less than 30,000 men will retake Aaglianistan, and the troops cannot be taken from our own provinces in these disturbed times.
