SPONTANEOUS GEN:v.:RATION OF A few months back public attention was called to a peculiar circumstance connected with the fate of Strahan and Paul, the bankers. Upon their con viction they received the extreme sentence of the law-14 years penal servitude. An act passed last session, however, reduced the penalty for similar offences in all future cases to three years' imprison ment. As Strahan and Paul completed this term at the beginning of last month, it was thought that for the sake of consistency, their punishment would then be mitigated. To continue it, in fact, would be not merely useless but unwise, since it could have no effect but to [bring ;the existing law into disrepute. Society inflicts punishment, first to:warn all people of what they will have to expect ; secondly, to reform the offender, and deprive him, meanwhile, of opportunities of repeating his misdeeds ; and, thirdly, to mark their abhor rence of the wrong committed. But we cannot say, " Look at the example of Strahan and Paul and the horrors of 14 years' penal servitude." The Legislature has solemnly, declared that for any one who may imitate their course, three years is the term to be counted upon. On the question of reformation it is not to be supposed any good can arise to two hepelessly 'broken men who can never again under any circumstances be in a position to repeat their malpractices, and who, moreover, from the first abstained from all attempts to defy or embarrass their prosecutors. On the third ground, that of marking our abhorrence of their acts there is nothing to say, since it is by our latest and not by our previous laws that that point must be tested. Whether fourteen years was in any degree too heavy a punishment in such cases may well be questioned, but when Par liament have pronounced that it is unduly severe, and that three years is enough, let all alike share the altered scale. The position of Strahan and Paul is analogous to that which would be wit nessed in the case of an offender upon whom a sen tence of death might be carried out, although in the interval between the conviction and execu tion capital punishment had been repealed. It is the same as if we were now to apprehend an escaped forger, whose crime was effected 30 years ago, andwere to hang him in accordance with the statutes of that period. So plain are these ,considerations, that when it was found last month that on the expiration of three years no mitigation was announced to Strahan and Paul, a memorial was prepared on their behalf signed by the most eminent London houses, and presented to Mr.' Secretary Walpole... It has received, however, no attention , _ and the glaring anomaly is allow e d t o continue. Too great disposition is usually evinced by all people to pardon, upon sentimental considera tions, everybody and everything after the first heat of anger is passed, and this, probably, is one of the most singular instances on record where a. Govern ment has been found willing not simply to repress the blind impulse of benevolence but to offend logic and policy rather than act in accordance with it. No ex planation is attempted, and all conjectures on the subject render it more perplexing. It cannot be that the demeanour of the prisoners has been such as to affect any consideration that might otherwise have been shown them. The minds and health of both are believed to be completely shattered, and they have attained a period of life at which tie operation of their sentence must under any circumstances be nearly tantamount to death. It is hard, therefore, to touch upon their position, because if the refusal to weigh it is merely the result of some obstinate prejudice, that prejudice is likely to be rendered only more bitter by anything that may be publicly said in condemnation of it. It is even yet possible, too, that there may have been accidental neglect or delay. When the case was last alluded to the ex pression of opinion was unanimous. Since then it has taken practical shape in the memorial of the leading oity merchants, and this having apparently failed nothing more can be done.—Times. PLANTS AND INSECTS. At the late sitting of the Academy of Sciences. MM. Pouchet and Houzeau presented a curious paper, in which they described certain experiments of theirs for the purpose of ascertaining whether animal life could be produced by mere chemical agency. It is well known that the majority of naturalists are of opinion that the spontaneous generation of animals and plants under peculiar chemical and physical circumstances is impossible, and that MM. Schultze, Sehwann and others have published experiments on the subject which have hitherto appeared unanswerable. Nevertheless, MM. Pouchet and Houzeau stated in their paper that, having repeat e d th e ex p er i men t s o f their pre decessors, they had constantly obtained affirmative instead of negative results. As to their own ex periments, they describe the following :—A phial having been filled with boiling water, then closely stopped with the greatest precaution, was placed in an inverted position in a mercury bath, then opened under the mercury, when half a litre of pure oxygen gas was introduced. Immediately afterwards a small wisp of hay, weighing ten grammes, and just taken out of a stove where it had been exposed for half an hour to a heat of 100 degrees centigrade (boiling point), was also introduced into the phial, which was then hermetically closed and sealed. Ten days afterwards it was reopened, and, it having been ascertained that no atmospheric air had pene trated into the interior. the contents were examined, and a nondescript kind of mushroom of the size of a currant was found to have grown on some of the stalks. These mushrooms being submitted to the inspection of M. Montagne, were declared by him to be a new species, which he proposed to name Aspergillus Pouchetii. Another experiment was in stituted to see whether the spores of cryptogamous plants could resist a heat of 100 degrees, and it was found that they could not. In a third experiment a large glass vessel was filled under mercury with the proportions of oxygen and nitrogen necessary to form atmospheric air, hay was introduced with the same precautions as before, and at the end of a month not only mushrooms, but also animalculte of the Protean genus were formed. These results were of so startling a nature that a few days ago Mr. Milne Edwards took up the question, and after re minding the Academy that he had often had occa sion to refute the theory of spontaneous generation in his writings, remarked that, notwithstanding the apparent nicety of MM. Pouchet and Houzeau's experiments, their insufficiency might' easily be proved. M. Pouchet supposes that by subjecting the hay employed to a temperature of 100 degrees, the vitality of any spore or germ contained in it must have been destroyed ; but might it not be doubted whether that temperature was really attained by the hay ? It was enclosed in a phial and left in the stove for 30 minutes ; but since both glass and quiescent air are bad conductors of caloric, the hay must have been but very moderately warmed. But admitting that it had received the full action of the temperature to which it was exposed, the deduetion that all the germs it con tained were extinct would still be false, it having been proved by M. Chevreuil, and later by M. Doyere, that certain animalculm, such as the tardi grades, when sufficiently dried up, will preserve their vitality after several hours exposure in a stove to a much stronger heat than that applied by M. Pouchet. He (Mr. Milne Edwards) had seen animalculm resist a heat of 120 degrees, and M. Doyere had carried the temperatnre to 140 degrees, without causing the death, of those microscopic creatures, when previously dried. Mr. Milne Ed. wards concluded with describing certain experi ments of his in which the generation of animalculm was prevented by a temperature sufficiently strong to produce the coagulation, of the albumen con tained in the germs. MM. Payen, de Quatrefages, Claude Bernard, and Dunias afterwards joined in the discussion, adducing other facts calculated to confirm Mr. Milne Edwards's view of the case. THE LATE CATASTROPHE AT THE , POLYTECHNIC. ADJOURNED INVESTIGATION. POLICE IN2IELLIGENCE.-=(TRIS DAY.) This afternoon, at two o'clock, Mr. Wakley, coroner for Middlesex, and the jury empanelled on the 6th instant, to investigate the circumstahces connected with the recent catastrophe at the Polytechnic Institution, re-assembled at the Lecture-hall of the College of Dentists, No. 5, Caven dish-square, for the purpose of further prosecuting their inquiry. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. STEALING LINEN AND ASSAULTS ON THE OFFICERS.— John Williams and John Bennett, two determined-look ing fellows, both known to the police, were charged with stealing a basket and bag of linen from a laundress's cart, and assaulting Grant 224 C, and Joy, 338 A, a detective. From the evidence of Joy, 338 A, a very active detective officer, it appeared that at 7 on the previous evening he was at the corner of Vigo-street and Regent-street, when he saw the two prisoners follow a laundress's cart, which turned into Vigo-street. He then saw ,Williams try to get the basket off the tail board of the cart, but he did hot suc ceed in doing so, it being fastened by a rope. The cart, which was still going on, having stopped, the two prisoners walked round it once or twice, and then Bennett pulled a bundle out of a basket, and he (Joy) then seized him, bUt as soon as he did so he set to kicking him on the legs, hurt him in the lower part of his person, bit his thumb, and threw him on his back. On getting up the prisoner started off, rand on his again coming up with him he repeated the same violence towards him. On the way to the station Bennett said " I didn't have the things, it's only an attempt." It will be recollected that the jury were sworn as to the death of Emma Pike, who, with her father and other mem bers of her family, were passing down the staircase at the moment of its fall. The proceedings excited very deep interest, and the spacious room in which the inquiry was held was densely crowded. Mr. Sleigh, instructed by Mr. Greatorea, attended to watch the proceedings on the part of the directors of the Polytechnic Institution ; Mr. Collier, M.P., Q.C., ap peared for Mr. James Thompson, the architect ; Mr. Gor ing, solicitor, appeared for Mr. Bedford, the mason, who was employed to let the iron treads into t 1 steps of the staircase ; Mr. Hughes, solicitor, for Mr. Pep per, then lessee of the institution ; and Mr. Matthews, soli citor for Mr. Pike, the father of the deceased child. Wo shall give the conclusion in our late edition. Grant, 224 C, having confirmed the material points in Joy's 'evidence, said that on taking Williams into custody he kicked him violently on the legs, and he had been com pelled to go to the divisional surgeon, one of his toes being put out of joint, and he could hardly walk to the court. Ann Burn, laundress, 9, Danvers -street, Chelsea, said the property was under her charge at the time. John Elliott, a private of the Ist Life Guards, said as soon as he know that Joy was a constable (he was in plain clothes at the time) he went to his assistance. Ho saw a struggle, and Bennett kick at his private parts. Ho assisted in taking him to the station. Mr. Beadon said he should send them for trial, but at present remand them. THAMES. A RECEIVER IN TROUBLE WITH A BAR OF SILVER.— Christian Freeman, a dirty-looking foreign Jew, aged 64, who described himself as a painter and glazier, of No. 18, Buckle-street, Whitechapel, was charged with the unlaw ful possession of an ingot of silver, weighing 9k lbs. Joseph Huggett, a detective police-sergeant of the City police force, stated that, yesterday afternoon, he met the prisoner in Buckle-street, Whitechapel, and knowing him to be a receiver of stolen property, and perceiving something bulky in one of his pockets he stopped him and searched him, and found the ingot of silver, now produced, in his pocket. It was japanned all over with black japan. He ( the detective - officer) asked the prisoner where he obtained the bar of silver, to which he replied that he met with a man near the London Hospital in the White,chapel-road, who asked him to bay the silver bar, and he did so. He asked the prisoner if he knew the man. The prisoner said he did not, and that ho never saw him before. He believed the silver was the produce of some burglary. The prisoner, who is rather deaf, said he had not heard what was said, on which Roche, the gaoler, shouted the evidence in his ears, and the prisoner, in broken English, repeated what he had said to the officer. Mr. Yardley—What, is it customary to buy ingots of silver in the Whitechapel-road ? The Prisoner—Yes, mine worship. Mr. Yardley—The case is a very suspicious one. You are remanded until Friday. STEALING A LOAF OF SUGAR.—Jeremiah Driscoll, aged 17, described as a labourer, of No. 2, King John's-court, Limehouse, was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with stealing a loaf of refined sugar weighing 26 lbs., and value 155., from the shop of Mr. William Stewart, grocer, of No. 5, Robin Hood-lane, Poplar. Mr. Stewart said the prisoner entered his shop yesterday afternoon, and took the loaf of sugar from among others, and walked out of the shop with it. 110,3 vent after the prisoner and overtook him 20 yards from the shop with the sugar in his possession. The prisoner impudently asserted that a man gave him the sugar, and asked him to carry it, but on the deposi tions being completed, he said ho was guilty, and Roche, the gaoler, said he was an old offender. Mr. Yardley sentenced the prisoner to three months' im prisonment and hard labour. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S-MONDAY. A large attendance, but the time was principally occu pied by a discussion of the probable weights for the Chester Cup, and the causes whichh - have led to the retrogression of Ralph° for the Two Thousand. The betting on the Chester Cup _was unimportant, and neither of the favourites were backed. The Derby quotations show no material change.

THE NEW TRADE REGULATIONS IN CHINA. The North China herald has the following im portant regulations which are appended to the Treaties of Tien-tsin : I. In the present newly-arranged tariff all articles which are only mentioned amongst the imports and not amongst the exports, and which may be, how ever, hereafter exported, shall pay duties according to the import half of the 'tariff ; and all articles which are only mentioned amongst the exports and not amongst the imports, and which may be, however, hereafter impOrted, shall pay duties according to the export half of the tariff. All une numerated articles in the import and export tariffs, and which may not be classed amongst the articles under the head of " duty free," shall pay an ad va lorem duty of 5 per cent. 11. Foreign gold and silver bullion, and foreign gold and silver coins, foreign grain, flour, rice, bis cuits, preserved meats, preserved fruits, cheese, butter, preserves, clothes, gold and silver ornaments, silver plated ware, scent, soap, coals, firewood, can dles, tobacco, tobacco leaves, wines, spirits, malt liquors, household articles, articles or stores required for ships, bedding, paper, pens, ink, carpets, knives, physic for use of foreigners, glass, glass ware, shall be exempted from paring duties on entering in or going out of port. With the exception of gold and silver bullion, foreign money, clothes and bedding which vessels may have on board only, vessels bringing any of the abovementioned articles will be compelled to pay tonnage dues. 111. The import and export of gunpowder, iron shot, guns (cannon), small arms, and other military weapons, and native salt, are strictly prohibited. IV. It is now fixed that the following weights and measures are to be employed in the carrying out of the tariff :—Orie Chinese pecul is equal to 100 Chinese catties, or 133 1-3 d lb. English ; one Chinese Chang, or 10 Chinese feet, is equal to 141 inches ; one Chinese foot is equal to 14 1-10th Eng lish inches ; 12 English inches are equal to 1 foot English; three Englishfeet are equal to 1 yard; and 4 yards less 3 inches, are equal to 1 Chinese Chang. V. Hitherto it was prohibited to trade in opium (foreign medicine), copper cash, rice, peas, beans, saltpetre, brimstone, and lead ; it is now however stipulated that hereafter these articles may be bought and sold under certain restrictions. Opium shall be permitted to be imported on paying a duty of 30 taels per pecul. Foreign merchants are, how ever, only permitted to sell it at the treaty ports, and will not- be permitted to take it to other places for sale, at which it will be viewed in the light of property belonging to Chinese. Chinese merchants are alone permitted to take opium into the interior of the country ; and foreign merchants cannot take charge of it for the purpose of conveying it into the interior of the country. Hence the tenor of the 9th article of the Tien-tsin Treaty, permitting British subjects to proceed into the interior to trade under a passport system, and the tenor of the 28th article of the same treaty respecting, the transit duties, have no doubt been trading in opium. With respect to the transit duty on opium, such will be left to the arrangement of the Chinese Government. With respect to copper cash, it is prohibited to export it to foreign countries, but foreigners may export it from treaty ports to treaty ports, where it will be dealt with according to the imesent established re gulations, viz., by the merchants concerned giving bonds to the custom house. Should they not fulfil these bonds, the copper cash, on being seized, will be confiscated. On the copper cash reaching the treaty port to which it shall be the intention to send it, no duty will be charged on it. Vessels which transport copper cash, be it a small or a large quantity, will have to pay tonnage dues. Rice of ' China, or foreign rice, if once imported, cannot be exported to a foreign country; but Chinese rice and foreign rice may be exported to other treaty ports under the same conditions as copper cash. British merchant vessels are prohibited exporting peas, beans, pea and bean cakes, frqm Newchang and Tangchow. At the other treaty ports there are no such restrictions, and they may export these arti cles even to foreign countries. Saltpetre, brim stone, and spelter can only be imported when pur chased by the Chinese authorities, or by Chinese merchants holding licences permitting them to do so. British merchants are only permitted to sell these articles at the treaty seaports, and are pro hibited importing them up the Yangtsze. If British merchants violate this stipulation, then the salt petre, brimstone, and spelter will, on seizure, be I confiscated. • VI. British vessels shall act in accordance with the 30th and 37th articles of the Tien-tsin Treaty, on coming to the treaty ports. VII. The transit dues are now fixed at one-half of the duties which are to be levied at the treaty ports, being in accordance with the tenor of the 28th article of the .Tien-tsin Treaty. Those commodities which, according to the 3d article of this regulation, are exempted' from 'paying duties at the treaty ports, shall on going into the interior of the country, pay transit duties at the rate of 2+ per cent. ad valorem. On foreign merchants taking merchandise into the interior, they must report such at the custom-houses at the treaty ports, and pay the transit duties, when they will receive re• ceipts, to be produced en route, and which will pre vent them paying any further transit duties. On British merchants phrchasinggoods in the interior they will report the same-at the first inland custom house, where they will receive a certificate, and on their arrival at the treaty port they will produce the certificate and pay the inland duties. Should they violate this regulation and en route secretly sell the goods, on their seizure they will be confiscated. VIII. In the 9th article of the Tien-tsin Treaty, it is stipulated that British subjects, provided with passports, will be allowed to proceed into the inte rior of the country ; it is now, however, stipulated that British subjects cannot proceed to Peking to trade. IX. British merchants will not hereafter be called upon to pay the shroff fee of 1 tael 2 mace on the payment of duties to the Custom-house. X. Regarding the collection of the foreign duties certain Chinese high officers will be appointed for the collecting them, who will either themselves or some of their special subordinate Chinese officers, or some British subjects engaged by them for that purpose, superintend such collection. Regarding the anchoring of the vessels, the placing of buoys, erecting of lighthouses, &c., the Chinese Govern ment will arrange such, and bear the necessary ex pense from the tonnage dues. The new tariff has also been published. It shows a reduction on many articles of import of nearly one-half of the duties, and about one-third of those on exports. The reduction of the duties on the import of cotton is considered of most importance to the commercial world. THE GREAT DRAINAGE WORKS AND THE BANK OF ENGLAND. It is said that Government have decided upon the mode of raising the large funds destined for the extensive drainage works which are now contem plated with a view to the purification of the River Thames. It has been definitively arranged that the Metropolitan Drainage Commissioners shall be authorised to issue bonds to an amount not exceed ing £3,000,000 sterling, on which Government gua rantee 3/ per cent. per annum interest. The other parties to the arrangement are the Bank of England, who have agreed to take the bonds, in sums of not less than £50,000 at a time, at such periods as the Drainage Commissioners may require to issue them. In like manner the Commissioners will have the option of redeeming the bonds in sums of £50,000 each, whenever they deem it right to do so . Th e latter proviso will obviate the objections of those persons who, in the present state o f th e money market, might be jealous of the preference given to the Bank, and anxious to take a porti on o f th e new Government securities . The D ra i nage Commis sidners will have, in fact, an open credit of three millions at' the Bank of England, which they may draw upon, or not, at their con venience. No other establishment could ac cord similar facilities upon sd important a scale. Theinterests of the publi c a pp ear t o b e duly consulted in the arrangement, since a work o f pri mary necessity to 3,000,000 of souls will be facili tated, and no disturb ance of th e mone y mar k e t can possibly be occasioned. The money will be ex pended on the spot, and the entire transaction, con sidered in a pecuniary sense, will be kept within a very narrow circle. 'the advantages to the Bank of England are obvious. That establishment will be enabled to employ their surplu's resources at a remunerative rate of interest in the safest possible securities, and they will doubtless, in addition, have the keeping of the Commissioners' banking account. Ultimately, as the proceeds of the rates which will be levied on the metropolis flow in, the bonds will be paid off, but this consideration appertains to the future. The Ladies Cornwallis and Lady Julia Corn • wallis have arrived in town from'Linton, Kent. Sir James Clark has gone to Prussia to be in attendance upon the Princess Frederick William at her confinement, now daily looked for. The Right Hon. C. B. Adderley left London yesterday for Windsor Castle upon a visit to the Queen. THE SUPPOSED MURDER AT DUDLEY.—The adjourned inquest on the body of Mary Ann Townshend, was resumed yesterday afternoon at Dudley. The jury returned the following verdict, " That the death of the deceased was attributable to suffocation, produced by exter nal pressure, but how or in what manner that external pressure was produced, no. sufficient evidence has been offered." Townshendwas then liberated, being told by the coroner that his previous good character had thrown sus picion off his shoulders. • COLONIAL. TEA.—The transactions have been extremely limited, the trade havim , been occupied with the samples of the large quantity to be offered for public sale to-day. Prices con tinue firm. SUGAR.—A very moderato business has been reported, but quotations are steady. A considerable quantity will be offered for public competition to-day and during the week. In the refined market there has been about an average de mand, and prices are firm. COFFEE.--There has been very little animationonnd the few dealings reported have been chiefly in Plantation Cey lon for home consumption, and prices generally show little variation. RICE.—The demand for the inferior descriptions has been active, chiefly for exportation, and prices show an upward tendency. SALTPETRE.—There has been a fair inquiry for the better sorts, and fully late rates are current. TALLOW.—A slight depression has taken place in values. P.Y.C. on the spot is now quoted 52s 9cl, Os to 53s 3d for March, and 51s 9d to 52s for last three months. COAL MARE (Prices of COal per Ton at , ET-JAN. 17. the close of the market.)
