Sir Francis Drake was one of the boldest, most
scientific and successful commanders in the British

MANY gallan, exploits detailed account is given
By Dr. johnson, first published in the Gentleman's
Magazine in l740. In this sketch is related acsse
of contemplated rnutiny, in respects soaring

Bsrbary Coast, thence 10 Cape Verbs, on the
Coast OF Brazil. &c. with various success aud ao-

himself narrowly escaped, They remained here
about TWO months in the summer Sc 1873, after
bringing the natives 10 submission.

Elections 10 fak,c plncc.


In New York. elections for members of the
House of Assembly, and for one third of the Sen.
ate, will take place on the 7th-ncxt Tuesday.
The Wings appear to be making no general raj
ly-putting off till next year the exhibition oftheir
strength. But neycrthless, the Albany Regency
appear 10 be greatly alarmed at the Signs. and the
Argus calls most Justify To arms. = Locotoco de-
feat in New York would distress Mr.. Calhoun's
friends quite as much as the defeat in Georgia did
the Ven Burenites.
In Massachusetts,, the elections for Governor and
other State officers, and four members of Con-
gre :, come off on the 18th. A letter from that
State expresses the belief that there is 10 doubt of
a Wing triumph. The bribery Of Bell. by which
Morton was elected Governor--is producing a
great stir. Morton and Hallct haze come out in
the public prints but so far, they nave only made
Ike matter worse. The documents they furnish
convict them of a full knowledge of, and participa-
ton IN, the disgraceiul circumstances connected
with the bribery.
The elections in Mississippi take page this
month, for Governor and Members of Congress.
We hope the cause Of honesty will prevail there :;
but we have no reliable Information.

ETHIOPIAN SEEESAnERs.-The Ethiopian Singers are
announced To appear at the Concer; Room of the Exchange
Hotel this evening-und judging from the very favorable
accounts we have received Of their taien, from Washing
ton Baltimore and the Northern cities, We doubt not the
elsewhere.
1t has been the successful study Of these artists to free
their performances from those vulgar expressions and XIII.
billions which too frequently attach to Ethiopian Entertain.
ments, and they have been rewarded by the attraction OF
crowded audiences and a numerous attendance Of the fair
and gentle portion OF the creation. At their last perform
aneo IN Washington, out Of an audience Of nearly 700 per.
sons, the mrJoriiy were ladies', who were delighted with the
very beautiful music and whose nsi5le faculties were agree
ably excited b. ~laughabic and highly comic cfors, which
"overstepPod not the modesiy Of nature"
