THE P.g2UDil.i.EN2' BANKERS.

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tion capital punishment had been repealed.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 allowed to
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 repeated the experiments of 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

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.
