At the' last' meeting of the London .Geo

f one of the BnUtb Arctic expeditions, ' ar
gued at some length in favor of the support
of the existence of a great polar ocean. He
said that in Wellington Channel he observed
an immense number of whales tunning out
from under the ice, a proof that they had
been to water and come to water.' for evenr

these failures has followed him ever since.
He has enjoyed very little public confidence,
but has live J of late years a very discontent
ed and unhappy life.. V
This i a sad conuast to tne nniuancy oi
bis early career. Marmont was one of tbe
earliest of Ibe young officers whom the eye
of Napoleon singled out to attacn to nimseu
at the first dawn ot bis fortunes. At the age
of eighteen be was at tbe aiege of Toulon
where Bonaparte acquired nis own am Dis
tinction -and attracted the notice of the fa-
are Emperor at the -aame time withjooou
When Bonaparte became general in 1790,

and waa inresiea who toe connua ui iu
army of the, interior, he recalled Marmont to
Fans, from ibe army of tbe Heine, to oe oire
of his aids ; and afterwards took him with
him on his Italian campaigns At tbe bead
of bia troop Marmont had the glory of taking
the first piece of cannon at the dreadful bat
tle of Lodi ; and so distinguished himself
that be was selected to be the bearer, to the
Directory in Paris, of the standards of trophies
of the campaign. He executed this duty in
public, amidst imposing ceremonies, wiui
great eclat. , He went with iJ-naparte to
Egypt ; and on bis way waa the first man o
disembark at Malta, and with his troop cap
tured ibe atandard of the Order of tbe Knights
for which feat he was created general of
brigade on tbe spot .Bonaparte selected
him as one ot tbe party of confidential friends
who returned with bim from Egypt Mar
morn's course oo tbe eighteenth Brnmaire
ptocured him from the First Consul the ap
pointment a one of the Counsellors of State,
an the command of tbe artillery of the army
of reserve. He was at Marengo, and con
iributed ao much to that astonishing victory
chief in command of tbe artillery that
he was created general of division, ai twenty,
aeven years . of age. He was afterward at
the capture ot Ulm: and won the battle of
Uastei PI novo against great odds, wun so
much skill, that in the after creation of titles
he waa called Duke of Ragusa from tbe
name of the town near which the victory
waa gained. He .fought at Wagram: was
next Governor of Illy ria, and then succeeded
Maaaena in the command of tbe French army
in Portugal, where he encountered the Duke
of Wellington without succesa. In the heat
of fight at Coidad Rodrign, Marmont waa
struck in the aide by a shell, which inflicted
two ghastly wound, and compelled bim to
aubmu to the amputation of his right arm.
This disabled bim from active service un
tit the fatal campaign of 1813, when France
made sncb berCulean exertiona against near
ly all Europe. Marmont commanded a di
vision at Lutzen, Dresden and Liepsic In
thif last battle his remaining band waa maim
ed. In all the desperate struggles which
followed, nam tne ovrrwnetming masse
drove Napoleon backnpon fans, Marmont
was foremost in daring. I o mm and to
Marshal M or tier Napoleon committed the de-
fence of tbe capital ; and whatever may be
poasiDiy said of ma after conduct, it never
ha been denied that he fought tbe battles
there with a personal daring not to be sur

THE COMPROMISE AND THE PRESI-
. '-DENCT. . I , . . r
The entire nlence.obeerted by the recent
Democratic State Convention in Virginia in'
reference to the Compromise measures waa
quite in keeping with the course marked but
by tbe Congressional caucus ot mat pany, ai
tbe beginning of tbe session, when, on tbe
motion of Mr Preston King of New York, a
resolution expressing an approval of tboae
measures was laid on the . table. The first
principles ef .Democracy ia to obtain a ma
jority to nrove ita own claims to the title of
Democracy, and in view of the pressing
need of votes to secure that consummation.
it cannot afford to lose tbe votes of Mr. Pres
ton Bog. Mr. Raatoul, .Mr. Chase and their
partisans of ice abolitionist taction.
The Democracy of Virginia in convention
assembled seem to have duly appreciated tbe
mportance of abolitionist vote, which wil
count a much and weigh as heavy, accord-
ng io numbers, as tbe votes of tbe most or
thodox supporters of tbe resolutions of 98.
The Democracy of tbe Southern Statea, such'
as Geogia, Alabama, Mississippi aad South
Carolina will find no difficulty, we presume,
in giving tbe Compromise tbe slight of their
silence. They have warred against it open
ly and sealoualy : and . perhapa it may be
regarded as a concession in Its favor if i bey
do not pess resolutions of reproHstioo against
it. How it is or why it is that this hospitali
ty to the Compromise is kept op at the South
we do not profess to understand since the
oely measure of that series of conciliatory
measures ibat can now be brougnt into issue
is that one designed to effect the reclamation
of fugitives from labor. It would seem as
though discontent was resolved to maintain
itself at any rate; and if it ahould find no
cause of complaint upon which to subsist,
its exquisite obstinacy would be consistent
with iiself in making a matter of vexation of
that very lack. '
Tbe Union party of the South, however,
ill probably take this subject in hand and
see that it ia well attended to On tbia point
we quote the following from the New . York
Journal of Commerce.
For ourselves, we regret to see ao many of Die

"When Lola'Montee waa ia Waahinxton she

apon her at ner lodgings at the Irving House;
and a certain daring member of the House gave
her so airing dn the Avenue, in one of the most
dualling torn-outs of the city. The ostentation of
hie at eniiona naturally excited aome remark; and
at an evening party a day or tw after the display

the threat was evidently addressed, rather sarcas
