POLICE INTELLIGENCE—(This Day.

MANSION-HOUSE. •
A stylishly-dressed young man, with a moustache,
giving the name of Benjamin, was charged before Alder-
man Wire, with assaulting Mr. James Phillips, mer-
chant, of 16, George-yard, Mansion-house.
It appeared from the evidence that the defendant had
been in the employ of the complainant. Yesterday
afternoon the defendant went to the complainant's office
and asked for some books he had left there. The ser-
vants informed Mr. Phillips of it, who desired the de-
fendant should wait. Shortly after the parties met,
when unpleasant words passed between them relative to
an alleged claim the defendant had on the complainant,
the result of which was a scuffle between them, and the
assault complained of took place.
Alderman Wire said that from all he had heard, the
defendant had a right to go to the complainant's count-
Ing-house for his books, but not to commit an assault on
the complainant. He thought the justice of the case
would be met by fining the defendant se. and costs, and
his entering into recognisances to keep the peace for
three months.

MONEY MARKET

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGVNCE.

CITY, Two o'CLocK.

The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday con-
tinued steady, and sales to the extent of 6,000
bales were reported. The market closed quietly.
Since the recommencement of business in the Rail-
way Share Market, after the holidays, business has
been very dull.

The Bank of England return for the week end-
ing December 22 is considered rather unsatisfac-
tory, and the changes presented are important. A
large diminution in the bullion was expected from
the active demand for gold which has recently
prevailed, and the material extension of the better
tecuritiee is accounted for by the monetary require-
ments necessitated by the payment of the Turkish
instalment, and the preparations for the closing of
the annual accounts.

CHRISTMAS PRESENTS.

THE most appropriate Offerings for this Season
ofFestivity are thole which tend to the promotion of Ilealth
and Personal Attraction. None can be more acceptable than
ROWLANDS' lIACIS4AR OIL,

for Imparting a transcendent lustre to the Bair, and sustaining it Ix
decorative charm.

ROWLANDS' KALTDOR

Imparts a radiant ►loom to the cheek, and a delicacy and softness to
the hands, arms, and neck ; and
ROWLANDS' ODONTO,

or ?earl Dentifrice, bestows on the Teeth a pearl-like whiteness, and
renders the Breath sweet end pure. .

The patronage of Royalty throughout Europe, their general use by
rank and faAhion, and the universally•known efficacy of these
articles, give them a celebrity unparalleled.

THE BUDGET.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said
perhaps it would be convenient for the house to know
what would be the progress of public business immedi-
ately after Easter. 'Ho should be prepared to make the
financial statement immediately after the recess, but
as it might not be convenient to some hon. members to
make it on the first day after the holidays, viz., Menday,
the 16th of April, be should propose to bring forward the
budgeton Friday, the 20th of April. On Monday,the 16th,
the PreF,ident of the Board of Health would move the
second reading of the bill for the better government of
the metropolis, and after that it would be proposed to
go into committee of supply. (Hear, hear.)
ADJOURNMENT OF THE HOUSE.

Sir G. GREY, in the absence of Lord Palmerston,
from indisposition, moved that the house at its rising
should adjourn until Monday, the 16th of April next.
THE COLONIES.

Sir J. PAKINGTON again took the opportunity of
directing attention to the unsatisfactory state of the
Colonial Department, and gave notice that if matters
were not mended after Easter, and should Lord John
Russell not have returned, he should submit a formal
motion to the house on the subject.

that on the 6th the ice had completely disappeared,
but that very thick fogs prevailed. The two ports,
in which from 25 to 30 merchant vessels were lying,
are defended on the south side by several new bat-
teries, one of Which, mounted with very heavy
guns, has just been finished. The Russians are
now engaged in forming a complete wall round
Odessa, and have also defended it on the land side
by five large forts.

POLAND.

WARSAW, MARCH 20.—From the preparations
for war now going on in Poland, and the marching
and countermarching of troops in all possible
directions, it certainly does not appear as if the
Russian Government was really in earnest
about making peace, or disposed io accept the four
points according to the interpretation of the allies.
It was at first difficult, not to say impossible, to
understand the object of these military movements,
but the mystery is now cleared up and the result
apparent. All the regiments which were dislo-
cated from the great central point, Radom to Lub-
lin and Czeustochau, are now on their march to
join the army of the south ; whilst, on the other
hand, the troops in cantonments in Lithuania, at
Kownow, and Augustowow, and even the cavalry
regiments which were pushed forward. as far as
Plock, have received orders to march to the Baltic
provinces, where an army of 150,000 men will be
immediately concentrated.

LIFE ASSURANCE ASSOCIATIONS.

Mr. COWAN asked the Secretary whether he bad
auy intention to introduce a bill during the present ses-
sion on the subject of life assurance associations,
founded upon the report of the select committee in 1853 ?
Mr. WILSON was not preparod to say what Govern-
ment intended to do, but many of the evils which
it was thought called for legislation had been recom-
mended by the inquiry itself. If no bill were introduced
this session the Income-tax Life Insurance Act of last
