DISSINTERS' COLLEGE AT MILL- HI L L.—Thursday,
the 16th inst. the Protestant Dissenters' Grammar
School Society assembled at Mill-hill, for the purpose
of laying the first stone of a new building, for the more
liberal education of the children of the establishnient.
The occasion being one of great interest to the Dis-
senters, an immense number assembled. On the stone
were cut the names of 22 of the trustees. The ceremony
of laying it was performed by Mr. FAvem., the Trea-
surer to the Institution.

The Papers moved for in Parliament, relative to the
discussions with the Burmese Government, have been
printed and delivered out. They occupy about one
hundred and fifty folio pages, and comprise the com-
munications that have been made to the Court of Di-
rectors upon this subject since 1812, when Lord MINTO
was Governor-General of India. The date of the last
dispatch is the 10th of September, 1824. From an
examination of these documents, we see no ground
whatever to doubt the necessity lathier existed of an ap-
peal to arms on the part of the British Government.

16, Belton-street, Long-acre, the temporary residence
lof the widow of the late Mr. Rzostotroßaaftv, in con-
sequence of having read the account of his distressing
cate in the newspapers. Several of them made her pre-
sents from a sovereign to halfia-crown. Previous to
her case being made known, she was without a farthing
in the world, and no more clothes than were on her
person. On receiving the first 12s. from two Gentle•
men who called early in the morning, she immediately
proceeded to purchase some mourning to follow her hus-
band to the grave. The funeral was appointed to take
place at two o'clock. at which time the parish hearse
was drawn up to the back entrance of St. Giles's Work-
house, in Short's gardens, when the deceased's coffin,
with five others, were put into- it, and were carried to
St. Pancras church-yard,where they were interred. The
hearse was followed by Mrs. Barry, the widow, who was
very much affected, and her sister. During her absence,
Gentlemen on horseback and persons in carriages
drove up and made most anxious enquiries about her
and the unfortunate deceased, and left their cards of
address for her to call on them. Other applications
were made at St. Giles's Workhouse.
ESCAPE OF A Paisowan.—Thursday afternoon, H'il.
Bass Thonspsois, a young man, who was examined at
Mary-la.bonne Office on Monday las►, on a charge of
burglary in the house of Messrs. SWAN, How% and
Co. of Regent-street, effected his escape from custody.
Thompson was detected in the act of robbery on Sun-
da'y night last, and is said to belong to a daring gang
of thieves. 'On Thursday he was examined before Mr.
RAWLINSON, the Magistrate, and ordered to be re-
manded till Monday next. In the evening he was
handcuffed to a woman, named Alexander, and was
put into a coach with two other prisoners, named
Tonks and Turner, in the charge of Godfrey, the jailer
of the Office. On the way to the House of Correc-
don, the female (Alexander) repeatedly complained of
the tightness of the handcuffs, and requested Godfrey
to remove them. This he declined, until at length she
burst out into the loudest cries, and appeared in dread-
ful agony, her arm having at last swoln to a very
.considerable extent. Godfrey being impo: tuned by the
other prisoners, and pitying the woman's wretched
situation, removed the fastenings from her arm, and
of course the arm of Thompson became equally dis-
encumbered. The prisoners having requested permis-
sion to take some refreshment before entering the jail,
the coach stopped at a public-hou e called the App'e
Tree, nearly opposite the House of Correction, and
while tht landlord was supplying them with some
spirits and water, Thompson su :de,tly jumped out of
the coach, and knocking down the landlord, ran off.
Several persons attempt' d to stop him, hilt lie levelled
'them to the earth, and effected iris escape.
