KENSINGTON GARDENS.-These beautiful Gardens begin to exhibit the effects of the late improvements. The grounds having been turrnd up, and the couch grass in some degree eradicated, a new smolth surface was prepared for vegetation, and it now presents a vernal appearance quite different from the rough and unequal sod that previously existed. The swamp occasioned by the collection of fallen leaves for a series of years, and the dropping, of wet from the trees, has been irrigated according to the French plan ; and, in addition to the three thousand trees lately felled, it has been recommended to cut down two thousand Inure, to give free circulation to the air, to keep the soil diy, and to render the Gardens more healthy. In the ensuing summer, the gay promenades i❑ Kensington Gardens will be extremely and no doubt he the favourite resort of the fashionable world.  On Wednesday morning se, 'might the town of Bromyard was thrown into great agitation by the news that Mr. John Harris, landlord of the Drar.on Inn, had committed suicide, by cutting his throat, which, at the inquest, presented a most dreadful gash. There was no motive assigned for the rash act; and Le was suppoaed to have been in very good circumstances. An inquest was held on the body on the Friday following, when a verdict of Temporary Insanity was returned.—Hereford Tints. The Lord Nelson merchant-vessel, from Lisbon, has arrived in the river, and the oral report of the Captain tends strongly to corroborate the account adverted to yesterday, of another battle near Lisbon on the 1414 in which the Miguelites sustained a total defeat. He states that the attack commenced at 5 o'clock in tire morning of that day, and lasted till 9 o'clock, when it terminated with the result above stated, both sides fighting with great bravery. The circumstance which, according to this account, brought the bacle to a sadden close was that a division of the Miguelite force, having to advance against the city through au open plain bordering on the Tagus, were brought within the range of the guns of one of the ships of Admiral Napier's squadron, there lying at anchor, which played on them 100 rounds of grape and cannister shot, making a dreadful slaughter among them. Such was the ardour of the Queen's troops in this period of the attack, that they rushed on the enemy, and it being impossible at the distance to distils, guish them, many of them fell also by the fire from Napier's ship. Of the number of the killed and wounded on the sid‘... of Miguel nothing was certainly known, as they were carried off by the troops of their own party,. whom it was thought not politic to pursue to their positions. Tile defences of Lisbon had been brought into the most complete state, and were believed to be impregnable by any force the Miguelites could bring against them. One of the regiments of Miguel, that of Lamego, near (>OO strong, is said to have refused to tike any part in the 'fla:a'detachattack of the 14th ; in consequence of which an intimwar,, was given to them that they might re for ment sent to bring them back., wiala: t t and Cie loss of theoia men purpose;readily but obeyed, orderand oatsmin7eyon,.cike.twt:fid:tnshaeini:r°d: ffe c ed without great resistance on epots assent t 0 day on many lives.
