Desperate Acts or the Female Insur? gent*. [Parla (May 26) Correspondenoe London Times. ] ' I took a walk down the Rue Rivolt. toward the Hotel de Ville, to judge o? th<3 amount of damage done.'and at the corner of ihe Rue Castiglione became aware of the apt roach ot a great crowd of people yelling and shaking their fists. The cortege was headed by a ootn puny of mounted gendarmes, behind whom came two artillerymen dragging between them a soiled bundle ct rags that cottered an J. struggled, and fell down under the blows .that 'were- showered upon lt by all wno were within reach. It was a woman, who hud been caught in .the act of spread? ing petroleum. Her lace was bleeding, and her lialr streaming down her back, from which her clothing had been torn. OH they dragged her, followed by, a hooting mob, tiil they reache'd the corner of the Louvre, and there they propped her up airalnst a wall, already half dead from the treatment she had received. The crowd ranned itself in a circle, and I have never eeeu a" pistare more per? fect and complete in ita details than was pre "seined by that scene. The gaSplng, BhrfMkifjg ?figure in the centre, surrounded by a crowd who could scarce be kept from tearing her in ?ieces, who waved their arms, crjing "Drown e?*1 drown her!" on one side of the "barri? cade; still strewn wlf.li-broken guns arftl-hats a dead National G'.iard lying rm the-- feste-be? hind a group of mounted gendarmes, and then a perspective ol ruined streets, and blackened bouses, culminating in the extreme distance In the sill! bundng Hotel de Ville.. Presently two revolvers'were discharged, and the bun? dle of rags fell forward in a pool ot blood. The popular thirst for vengeance was salis fled, and so the crowd dispersed in search of further excitement elsewhere. * ' How the Palaces and Private Residen. ces were Fired. j [Parts(May 2*) Ccrrjspondence London News ] Paris shall noi-exlst, if Paris does not be? long to the Commune. Such was their heJlfeli resolve, and they proceeded to carry out their threat of "^destroying tho caplial which they could not retain. They set to work in three ^distinct ways. In the palaces and public offi? ces which they commanded they disposed at . regular intervals, sometimes Dotti's, some? times pols of petroleum. When the vessels ?f peiroleftm were arranged at proper distances, one ot them would be overturned and Ignit? ed; ihe flames would rapidly spread, and the whole building, would soon be past salvation*. It wa? in this way that the Tuileries, the Palais Royal, the Hotel de Vi.le, the Pa?a^e of the Legion ol Honor and other celebrated public edifices were Ret in flaures. This ar? rangement was all made in the Min? istry of Marine, but . the wretches en? gaged in the work of destruction had to fly before they; could set Are to the pots of petroleum which they had plant? eo ?n the most likely corridors. There was a second method adopted for the destruction of private houses. When it became necessary to retire lrom a particular barricade, the Guards tore to pieces the beds which lorned part of the barricades, took the tow out t?." the beds, dipped il in petroleum, and loaded heir guns Iwith lt. Then they fired the tow into tue win? dows of the house*, lt was in this way that the block of houses in the Rue Royale, lacing the Madeleine, was set ou fire. '?Still a third method: Men and women were going about Paris with bottles of petroleum In their poc - kets, or hui about their dresses. They threw these bottles down into the ground floors of every dwelling they could get-at. If there was nu room for the bottle to get through, the neck of the bottle co ni a get Into certain air holes wtych belong to the coustrooiiou of French hollies; the liquid would be poured in, and a lighted match would be sent In alter lt. In this way very many private houses were set In flames; as? many Hundreds of women were .taken in the oct all day-some of them shot upon the . spot. All day. too, the inhabitants, apprised ol' what was going on, were engaged in stop? ping up all the skylights, graiiuus, and air holes which connected their ground floors with the pavements. Wherever yon turned in every street-you saw the inhabitants busy, plastering, bricking, or shutting up with planks the two feet ot their houses next to the pavement. Not only were women liken, but the firemen also in great numbers were arrest? ed. The fae: is that many adherents cf the Commune entered the - ranks of the firemen, partly to disguise themselves, nnd partly to spread the fire instead of extinguishing iU The Extent of the Slaughter,. I Pan- (May 2S) Corresp ntlence London Times.] The executions ol the insurgents are whole? sale. It is estimated that upwards ot 2000 Ersons have been shot already on the left uk of the Seine atone, evldenly a small pro - portion of the total number. Wherever wo? men and children ate to be observed leaning over the parapet of the Seine Intently regard? ing some object below, one mav be sore that the attraction is a.group of hideously mutila? ted cohpees of men who have been brought Sown to the river side,* and then, with their acks to the wall, have met their doom. On the sloping rouds leadtng down from the Quay to the river may also be seen inequalities where the road 'has been recently disturbed, and where the freshly-turned earth indicates banal-places. Not tar from these bodies were lying several dead horses, lrom which the people were cutting steaks. Thu Inside ol ihe Hotel de Ville presents a euriens scene, the solid messes of stone and lime of Which the rubbish ls composed hating fallen-in in the fonriVf a crater, which tills up the whole cen? tral place. Under this mound are said to bo burled from two hundred to three hundred In . surgeuts who were unable to escape'atthe last moment, and thus fell the victims-of. the conflagration they had themselves originated. The mutilation ot the 'ornamental work of this magnificent specimen of architecture is simply hideous; there is scarcely a square, inch of the fa?ade untouched by shut or shell, ami the huge stone columns in-ide, splintered aud de? faced, supporta mere shell.

A trio of the Communist leaders was captured on Thursday night. They were Jules Valles, Ferre and Longuet Valles was made pris? oner alter the others, in rear of the Theatre du Chateler. His comrades had been taken very shortly before. Valles was dragged lorward by the YersallHetP. and one of their non-com miseioned officers struck him upon the neck with his sword. In his anger and agony Valles 6truok back, and immediately an extemporary shooting party was drawn up, and fired imo the body of the unfortunate rebel.

The Place ile l'Opera was a camping ground of artillery, (he Place VencomV a confusion ol barricades, guarded by sentries, and the Rue Royale a moss of de? bris. Looked atirom the Madeleine, the deso? lation and ruin of that fcandfiorae street were lamentable to behold. The Place de la Cou corde was a desert, and :n the midst ot it lay the staiue of Lille with the head off. Thc la-ji lime I had looked on that lace it was covered with crape, tn mourning for the? entry of ihe Prussians. Near the bridge-were twenty-lour corpses of Insurgents, laid out in a row, wail ins to be bu~u?d under the ne'ghborfjg pavlng stooea.

The Legion d'Honneur, ihe Cours des Comptes,' and Conseil d'Etat, were still smoking, but there was nothing left of them but the ?htck ened shells of their uoble fa?ades to ahp,w how handsome they had once been. At this point, in whichever clireciiou one looked, the ?ame awful devastation met the eye-to thc left the smoldering Tuileries, to the righi the long linp ol'ruin where ihe fire had swept through the magnificent palaces on the- Qr?al, and over? head aguiu to-duy a cloud ul Fin?te, more black and abundant even than yesterday, in? cessantly rolling its dense volumes from be? hind Nptre Dame, whose two towers were hap? pily' standing uninjured.

A stuhle to Professor Morse ls being inaugu? rated at Central Park lo-day, under the aus? pices ofthat large and growing body o? crafts? men, the telegraph operators, and In Hie presence of thousands of our citizens.* It is a raro honor to .be celebrated in monumental brass during ode's lifetime, but it seems pecu? liarly proper, if any man is entitled lo that distinction,- that it should be the American who invented the magnetic* telegraph. The venerable professor will be present and listen to the eulogies lipon himself, and this even? ing will receive his friends and admirers at the Academy of Music. Many of ihe most eminent' men of the country-statesmen, BClentiels, journalists, clergymen and artists-' wllr participate in the demonstration. Per? haps* it may be considered out of place, in view of this universal ovation lo Morse, to al? lude here, lo his politics. But in the higher waites of science! as well ns of literature and art at the North, the represen!atk-e .meu have been so generally tinctured with Radicalism that it is difficult to refrain, from expressing the more than ordinary loteVeut we feel in seeing honors bestowed upon one, the most illustrious ol' them ali, who has unilermly. sympathized -with ihe Soulh and the Dem? ocracy. I am credibly Informed that a strong move? ment -is on loot IQ .the Democratic ranksjn ihiscjly* to make John Quincy Adams the'oeju Democtati(rcan(lklate,,for the Presidency. The project has the support ol a number ol' In? fluential Democrats, who nave no direct affilia? tion with Tivmmuuy. and who, while concfed ing Hie great personal worth and officia'1 purity of Governor Hoffman, believe that on account ol his long connection with Tammany Hall, he will be too heavy a load for the parey to carry. He ls still yoong, and can afford lo walt until the prejudices against Tammany shall have been dissipated by time. In ousting about fur thc Democratic states? man who has the most elements of avallabtji ty. G?n?ral Hancock, ex-Senator Hendricks. Senator Thurman, UovernorEngltsb, Geueral Blair, Mr. Pendleton and Mr. Adams naturally pass under review. These .ure-all whose names have been prominently canvassed. Cy vernor seymour Is ineligible on account of Ids defeat In 1868, and the Chief Justice is out ol the race because ol his fallt?g health. 1 here are very few' object lons to be urged agalast General Hancock. He is very popular throughout the country, but his reputation rests wltpliy upon his military services, and in lids respect he has not so great a claim on the gratitude of ihe North 03 General G/a-ii. who Will be the Republican caudidate. Han? cock bas had no political experience, and If he Js run purely us u hero, he will have a more conspicuous hero to contend wkb. B??Jms there ls another very Important consideration. Hancock Is the only pronounced "Democrat among Ute generals in the army. The others, if not Radicals, have no pol.ucal convictions. Under a Democratic administration an emer? gency might arise when u ton nd man might bc wanlen from among the soldiers. : Mr. Hendricks is probably the ablest of Ike Democratic statesmen of Hie North. Properly speaking, his ability, bis experience and his character, entitle him lo -be. President. Un? fortunately he U objected,io by ihe friends ol Mr. Pendleton, and by rt part of th? Western Democracy, who accuse him of having kiiled off the Ofiio slat?sma? In .the convention of 1868 by questionable intrigues. This is un dcublaoly a mistake, but Mr. Hendricks^ strength ls correspondingly-weakened iHelrt; by. On account ot this nut'ortiinate feud, ?lie same objection?, on tbegrouud ot availability, will apply to Mr. Pendleton. Wiih'respect lo General Blair, it Tis useless to try lo conceal the prejudice aa'alust him at Ihe North'on account of the Brouduead letter and lils tfotti, vigorous speedie* lu the Senate. The pre vuillug idea seems tc be that somehow be wants lo unsettle things, while what the North is auxious for is ''peace.'" . Governor English has a good record. He ls a sound Democrat, and as au individual is prac? tical, straightforward, honest and personally very popular. His reputation, however, Is al? most wholly local. Ii is Questionable If any enthusiasm could be raised over him in the West. Senator Thurman has taken rank us the tc re most of the Democratic mern be mt of the- Senate, and in ability and a* a-de bates is ihe peer of any Radical senator. I i.e. only ob? jections to making him a candidate for Presi? dent are ibm he cannot well be spared from the Senate, and that he is a Virginian by birth. At present, at least, ll seems lo be desirable, that the candidate shall be a Northern min. This canvass of tile qualifications of. the availa? ble men brings us ut latt to Ihe younger Adam?. Her? the Democrats; whose views I have been giving yo?, assume to speak with confi? dence." They urge that Mr. Adams has shown since his entrance Into political life, len years ago, a vigor and clearness of intellect, a sound? ness of judgment and a statesmanlike aptness (n handuug great.questions unequalled bysjny man of Ilia years. They prol^ss to find a parallel - niy in thc instances ol' Hamilton and the younger Pitt. He is yet under' ioriy, and though henas held no public Office, be is known through th?jength and breadth of the land. As he has n-ver been 1n office, those Demo? crats hold that his record is invulnerable to at? tack. As he ls youug, brilliant, magnetio ami dashing, and bears an honored lilsiorlc name, they believe that he can evoke rm enthusiasm among the people pot lelt intliis country since tile days of Harrison. But above all, they con? tend Hutt his name at the bead of thu ticket will draw to the Democracy all the discontent? ed and lukewarm Republicans, whose num? bers have j;iven the "preponderance of votes heretofore ic thc Radical organization on elec? tion day. These malcontents, these men who hale cf despise Grant, these Germans who sympathize with Schurz, these autl-protectlon Isis who have been acting inside the Jtudlcal lines, want u bridge to take them over to De? mocracy. and that eridge may be lound in Jno. Quincy Adams. Such are the reasons advanced by the New York Democrale, who pave Just begun this movement to push young Adams for lue Pres? idency. I give them lo you for what they are worth. As objections have been named to all the gem lernen whose claims were previously oanvassed, I suppose the same would now. be in order to Mr. Adams. There is oue that will readily occur to everybody-he halls from Massachusetts. Another dally paper gave up the ghost yes? terday, ibe fourth m ar monti).

B. 3., Professor of Pathological Anatomy in King's College; Physician.to King's College Hospital, Ac. The conviction that it is "only by recognizing the physical nature of vital energy that we can ever hope to establish therapeutics on a finn and sound baals," has perKaps led Dr. Ferrier to express himself rather decidedly against some views which I ventured to put forward 30me years ago, but which I am ready to give up as soon as convincing evidence shall be ad? duced in favor of the physical doctrine oflife. If Dr. Ferrier will explain what is meant by .molecular organization" and "molecular machinery," he will serve the cause he bas at heart far belter than by attacking me; for, as he must, have gathered from many ol my re m ar ks," I am quite as anxious for light ' as any one can be. What I desire is to learn,iu what particulars tbe "living" resembles anti differs lrom'ihe "non-living." I am quite ready to I admit-that one livlBg thing is only some other livjiig thing, or dead thing, or non-living tiing, "variously modified," "under sundry circum? stances," by "subtle influence;" but I should certainly like to have the meaning ol these very, comprehensive phrases expluined. A mau may be said to be but duts "variously modified;" but consider what is comprised in the "variously modified!" And perhaps I may be permitted to ask why, If it is right to attrib? ute the marvellous phenomena of nutrition to "subtle influences, - am-I to tie condemned be? cause I prefer to employ provisionally the. Bimp^e term "life," or "vitality," or "vital power?" It is possible the "molecular, "machinery" may be discovered, but at present it is absolute? ly unknown. It has never been seen, and nj one ha* yet tbid us what lt looks like even m his imagination. But yet I must admit that it is possible such machinery may be beyond the microscopic limit. The imagination ol highly gifted -persons may be able to conceive the structure and mode of action of the -molecular machinery of the existence of which they are. perfectly certain, although If has not yet been renderedjevldent even to their sense." Nay, I will admit further, that a sufficient intelligence mi??ht be able to predict from the properties of its component parts the character which the oflspriug -of any given pl. ce ol' "molecular machinery" will assume after-it has continued to grow aud muli inly, say, for a thousand years. But do such suggestion enable us to unravel the mystery ot the life of even the simplest I thing now alive, or, to determine in what par .Uctilars a.Hvlng particle differs from the same purticle'dead, or why a portion ot a mass of living matter moves upwards as well as dawn yards, or iu what manner lt takes up non-living mutier, and communicates to this its own' properties, and divides into separate -portions, every one of which possesses equal power*? It may be answered: "These phenomena are due to the properties of thu molecular macbin-' ery which ha? long been knows to exist in the imaginations of highly gilled persons; andv al? though as yei no ode has succeeded in actually producing such machinery artificially, the el'-' fOEts of philosphers lend towards such a CQU f summation!" But surely no observer,' not worker at science will ledi satisfied with such: statements us these: and a few will probably agree with me tn thinking that, although il be . In a sense unphilosophlcal, it ls neither incon I eisten t nor absurd to en ter. iain the opinion, thai the vital phenomena of living matter which was derived from pre-exlsimg living mailer ls due to a peculiar power; although at the same lime I object to accept the view that tire action ot a steam engine; which was not produced by a pre-existing Steam engine, ls due to a "steam engine principle;" ?nd Icon rfess il appears to me very extraordinary that many advocates of ihe physical theory ol lile cannot be convinced that the analogy they draw between a machine, which does not make itself, or-grow, or multiply-and living matter, which seems to do all these things, ls so very Blight*as to be beyond ever-y lisait ex? cept lhat of the fancy. If ihose who support the view which Dr. Ferrier sb strongly advo? cates could explain by physics and chemistry (a) the movements, (li) the growth, and (a) the inversion of any particle of living .matter, of any organism in this world, they mtgnt have* some excuse for the very positive statements they make about tue physical theory.af life. People are beginning to doubt whether, after all, livlnir things are really so like ma? chines, and crystals, and physical bases, und complex albuminoid matters in a state ol rapid chemical change, as they have been led'to be? lieve them to be. And people are also begin? ning lo doubt it those who have spoken so positively on the physical side really know, much more than any one else knows about ( the nature of life, although, from their very decided manner,'lt "was natural to believe they possessed .very peculiar and perlect .knowledge ol' the subject. Whether the physical theory ol lite would have re? sisted much better the- . "furious -on? slaughts" tua! have been made against it, lt. some other course had been pursued, hramat ter ol opinion; but lt is quite certain that some of the strongest supporters of the doctrine are modifying them still further. Those who hrve watched for ten minutes, under a high magni? fying power, the varied movements OT living mauer, and have thought a little over toe question ol' the nutrition of that living mat? ter, will not easily be brought to believe that sucn phenomena are due to physical and chem? ical changes only.
