THE POLICE COURTS.
THIS DAY.

GREENWICH.
THIMAT/911110 LIPS BY MOOTING.

Willem Carter, of Roan -street, Greenwich, was charged
before Mr. Seeker with creating a disturbance, and threaten-
ing to shoot Mrs. Susan Hodge of Wellington Cottage,
Spring-gardens, Old Woolwic.l2-niad.
It appeared that between 4 and 6 o'clock yederday after-
noon, the prisoner went to Wellington Cottsge, and on knocking
at the door, Mrs. Storey, an old lady, and mother of the
complainrmt, appeared, when prisoner, armed with a double-
barrelled gun, behaved in a most violent manner, 'eking
what she had been saying about him and his wife. Mrs.
&orey replied that ahe had not been saying anything Her
danter (the complainant) then came to the door, when
prisoner mid 'Then it wee you," and in the
midst of foul and violent language pointed the
gun at her, and said he would have her life.
He also threatened to knock Mrs. Storey's brains not
with the butt end of the gun. Tho females in much alarm
then shut the door and the prisoner went away ; but between
nine and ten o'clock in the evening again returned, ming the
same violent language and threats. On en attempt Sctsl
made to shut the door the prisoner placed the
of the gun in the doorway, and attempted to form his
way into the house with the gun in his hand. Prisoner,
who waa drunk at the time, was at length ejected, and a
' constable sent for, into whose custody be was given. On
marching him some perensidon caps were found in him pen-
erosion, and on examining the gun, it was found to be un-
leaded, with the interior of the barrels slightly rusty.
Mr. Foggo, fur the prisoner, mid hie client lad no Inten-
tion to shoot either female, as was evident from the gun, an
old and rusty one, not being loaded. The fact was he had
been drinking.
Mr. Seeker, addressing the prisoner. said his conduct wee
very foolish—it was a soot of drunken bravedo. He should,
therefore, convict him of being drunk and dotone, and order
him to pay a penalty of 10s. or imprisonment fur 14 days.
The money was paid.

FALL OF TWO HOMES IX TOTTENHAM-
COUBT-BOAD.-(THIS DAY)

This morning, between the hours of seven and
eight o'clock, the following serious and melancholy acci-
dent occurred at the premises of Messrs. Maples, upholsterers,
144. Tottenham-court•road. As far as could be gleaned,

during the homy and eonfusion, the following arc the
forte--Adjoining Messrs. Maples' premiers Mr. Hunter, a
person carrying on a similar business, resides, and about
Ma months ago a fire broke out at the house of the latter,
which had been recently rebuilt. In building, it
le now conjectured that the party wall was somewhat
misplaced. Messrs. Maples bad bad the front of their shop
tarn out for the purpose of having a new one put in, and
after taking out the old one yesterday, upright poles were
*reds, supporters till the new one was ready to be fitted. On
Mr. Taylor, jun., the son of the builder, going with a
man wind Newton to prepare the work for others,
the uprights were observed to totter. An alarm was imme-
diately given, but before many minutes had elapsed the
house, se well so that of Mr. Hunter, fall. Fortunately
the whole of the inmates of the latter escaped with-
out injury. The first person dug out was Mr. Taylor, who
was so severely injured that he cannot possibly survive. He
wee conveyed to the University College Hospital. Ths second
was sue of Messrs. Maples' shopmen, named Bing, who
then breathed, but on reaching the hospital, whither he was
conveyed, had coaxed to exist, evidently from suffocation.
A female servant and another shopman are still missing.
Since writing the foregoing, at 12 o'clock, the body of the
fronsle (cool) has been taken out dead.

It is understood that arrangements are about to
be made by the Eastern Counties Company to work the traffic
of the East Suffolk Railway ; and that, in consequence, the
Colchester, l'itses, end Radon line will be rendered Lumens-
sary. It is expected, therefore, that neither that line nor the
Bhenfeld and Pities, promoted ly the Eastern Counties
Company, will be proceeded with.

OUTWARD AUSTRALIAN MOIL.—The European
and Australian Company's steamer Jura, Captain Moody,
arrived at Southampton yesterday, to be in MatialCU to con-
vey to Alexandria the Australian overland nn' of the 12th
beat. She ran from Liverpool to Southampton in 36 hours.
PAROCHIAL TOOTHACHE.—DO what ono will, try
what you please—milk-poulticea, mesmerism, camomile-
hags, brandy, eremite, chloroform—there's no cure for the
analstrong throbbing toothache but extraction; for )ou'll

soul and body, that there's a fiendieh little abscess at the
rest of your hollow grinder, nut to be charmed away by
say less severe procem then the actual death-wrench.
my recent experience in this matter, and a consequent
reverie thereon, oonvinee me that a parish may have the
toothache am truly as a parishioner; and that there is no
remedy from the plague but excieitin. Here we ore at

dry, pompous Dr. Drone; who wears a shrivel-hat all the

is the bare oertifieate of baptism • in actuate scheme of theo-
logy he (the priest) is a vow-god upon earth to absolve or
to damn; and who never vet has done an atom
of spiritual good to the atoning Fouls around him.
Patiently, indeed, have we borne our parochial toothache—
this dull, worrying chronic pain, varied by an hebdomadal
it et fiercer anguish , and diligently have many of us Tried
all the nnodynea in vain. Now and then Drone goes to
the amide, and then we have the respite of 1.01:00 brighter
