We subjoin additional extracts from the papers.

We read in a letter from Milan, April 2, in the Augsburg
Gazette :—"W e have received a letter from Malta, informing
us that at the piesent moment there are at most but twelve
Italian refugees in the island, so that the reports in circula-
tion relative to the designs of the refugees are necessarily ex-
aggerated. On the other hand, letters from the Lombardo-
Venetian kingdom announce that several regiments have re-
ceived orders to hold themselves in readiness to march, in
case an intervention should_be deemed necessary."
In a letter of the 2d inst. from Milan, quoted by the
Cologne Gazette, it is said—
" The negotiations fora marriage between the Duke de
Bordeaux and Princess Maria Carolina of Naples, are so far
advanced that their union is now beyond all doubt. The ill-
ness of the Duke d'Angotileme is the only cause for delaying
the nuptials. The two sons a Admiral Bandiera have gene
from Corfu to Malta, where Mazzini, the Chief of Young
Italy, was expected from London."
" IVe learn from Munich that the Bing of Bavaria has
published a decree, in virtue of which Protestant soldiers are
to be no longer forced to be present at the service of the
Roman Catholic church, or Catholic soldiers to attend on the
occasion of religious ceremonies in Protestant churches. In
cases of religious processions, however, they are still to be
called upon to form the line, that being considered a service
of public order, and not identifying them in .any way with
the religious character of the proceeding."

• The. Irish State Trials will now • again occupy public
attention. On Thursday next Counsel will move, in the
Court of Queen's Bench, in Dublin, to set aside the ver-
dict, and for a new trial, on the groundi of unfairness
and error in the proceedings. What the, result of this
application. will be it may not be difficult to guess; but if
it meet with a refusal, and sentence be passed, then the
appeal to the House of Lords will be- prosecuted. Sir
Thomas Wilde and Mr. Kelly lead for the applicants.
Sir Robert Peel returned- to his residence in White-
hall-gardens this morning from Windsor Castle. The
Right Hon. Baronet left town on Sunday evening to at-
tend her-Majesty.

BURNING OF A COTTON FACTORY AT HACKNEY.—
On Saturday, at about half past twelve o'clock, a great
deal of alarm and excitement was manifested amongst
the inhabitants of Hackney and its suburbs, by the
cotton and wadding manufactory belonging to Mr.
Duprey (of No. 60, Aldgate, and also No. 23,, Norman-
street, St. Luke's), situated in Weymouth-terrace, in
the Hackney-road, being discovered on- fire. The
fictory stood by itself, in the rear of the houses in
Weymouth- terrace, and was in extent between 50 and 60
feet in, length, 30 in depth, and about the same in height, the
building, having formerly comprised three 'dwelling-
houses. There was a great quantity of machinery in
different parts, which was propelled by a ten-horse
steam engine on the basement of the factory, and at the
outbreak of the flames the works were in full operation.
As regards the origin, it is impossible to form the
slightest idea, for it appears the workmen were sud-
denly alarmed by a body of smoke issuing forth from
one of the machine rooms, and before there was
sufficient time to ascertain the cause, the flames
rose with extraordinary violence, and all were
necessitated to effect an instant escape ; many, in fact,
had to Jeap out of the first story window. The alarm
having been given to the police, immediate intelligence
was sent off to the various stations of the brigade in the
east end of the metropolis, and in the City, but before any
engines- reached the spot the fire had burnt throughout
the factory, and was in a vivid blaze from the lower floors
to the roof. On the arrival of the first engine, which
was that of the parish of Hackney, it was conveyed up
to the entrance, and got into play from a supply of
water near the premises. Soon after, two horse-engines
of the brigade, from Jeffrey-square and Whitecross-
street stations came, and were subsequently followed
by eight other engines and about forty ,firemen ;
many of them were directly got into operation, the
plugs of the East London and New Rivei Compa-
nies emitting an excellent supply •of water, but
notwithstanding the efficient exertions of 'the fire-
tnen, who were under the charge of Mr. Braidwood, the
superintendent, the flames were not subdtted until
the factory and its contents were all but burnt to the
ground. Oa the ruins undergoing inspection, the folly
of covering wood with sheets of iron, to prevent the ex-
tension of fire, was fully exemplified. One of the prin-
cipal rooms on the ground floor had been lined with iron
throughout, even the doors and ceiling included, yet,
strange to say, the damage here, though.the fire com-
menced in another part of the factory, was greater than
in any other.portion of the ruins. The loss is stated to
be very heavy. „
MARRIAGE IN HIGH LIFE.—Lord Francisßussell
'Was married on Saturday to Miss Peyton, at St. George's

kerville, Lady Charlotte Fitzwilliam and her two younger

Pollington, Lady Maria West and the Misses West, Hon.
Captain and Mrs. Rous, Sir Henry and Lady Peyton, Colonel
Udny, Mrs. Lloyd Wynne, Mr. and Mrs. Raj, &c. At two
o'clock the newly7married couple left town m a travelling
chariot and four. for Oakley, near Bedford, the beautiful seat
of the Duke of Bedford, and long his residence during the
lifetime of the late Duke.
' BRITISH BENEVOLENCE.—Mr. Wakley, M.P., has
received several letters from different parts of the country,
containing remittances for the relief of Brown and his family,
whose case appeared in the papers of last week. The police-
man on duty at Allsop-mews, where the wretched family re-
side, states that humane individuals constantly drive up in
their carriages to the place to assist them. Mr. Wakley says
that it is impossible to give even a remote idea of the amount
of charity that is privately distributed in the metropolis.
