A CHALLENGE FROM THE " DAZZLER," OF
• IPSWICH.
Capt. LUKE J. ALLEN.

TO HER MAJESTY'S JUSTICES OF THE
PEACE, ACTING FOR THE HUNDRED OF
WEST DERBY, in the County of Lancaster,
assembled at the General Quarter Sessions, holden,
by adjournment, at Kirkdale, in and for the said
County.
lATE, the undersigned, being two of Her Majesty's
v V Justices of the Peace, acting in and for the County of
Lancaster, do, by virtue and in pursuance of an Act of Parlia-
ment, made and passed in the ninth year of the reign of His
late Majesty King George the Fourth, intituled "An Act for
better regulation of Divisions in the several Counties of Eng.
land and Wales," and also of another Act of rlament, made
and passed in the sixth year of the reign_of"His late Majesty
King William the Fourth, intituled " jartf Act for amending an
Act of the ninth year of the nig His late Majesty King
George the Fourth, intituled ‘. ct for the better regulation
of Divisions in the several Co ties of England and Wales,' "
hereby state and certify, t ,in ur opinion, the TOWNSHIP
of WAVERTREE, in th undyed of West Derby, in the said
County, ought to be al xed to the Division of Kirkdale, in
the said Hundred, r the several purposes, matters, and
things which, by d' ers Acts of Parliament now in force, are
directed to be tr sacted and determined within the Divisions
or limits withi which the same shall arise, or the parties
therein concerned inhabit or exercise their trade or calling, or
by or before one, two, or more Justices of the Peace, dwelling
within or near, or usually acting within, such Division or
limits respectively.
That the Township of Wavertree is now situate within the
Division of Prescot. in the said Hundred, and that both of such
Divisions of Kirkdale and Prescot will be altered by the change
of such Township from one Division to the other as afore-
said.

A challenge! a challenge ! to all that's afloat
From a fast-sailing brigantine British-built boat.
Let "Jonathan" boast of his famed " Shooting Star,"
A neat little craft ; but not half on a par
With my pretty Ipswich lass. She'll take the lead,
And prove the vast nautical talents of Read.*
Examine her well, from her stem to her stern,
And see if one fault in her shape you discern.
She is built for all seasons so taughtly together,
She laughs at the raging of wind, wave, and weather.
Her tonnage—one hundred and seventy-four;
But she'll carry one hundred and twenty-six more.
Her register gives no idea of her freight ;
Just fancy three hundred tons solid dead weight.
Then tell me, combining this qualification,
If, as Jonathan says. "she can't beat all creation."
Stanhope, a noble Columbian tar,
Once challenged the world with his bright " Shooting Star
But the Ipswich-built " Dazzler," now, I infer,
Can easily take all the shine out of her.
Let her try us, and five hundred pounds we will stake
That we soon leave the " Shooting Star far in the wake.
'Tis a challenge, if Stanhope will say 'tis agreed,
And the cash can be quickly brought forward by Read,
Meanwhile, as her captain, I trust that no blame
Attaches to me for thus blazoning her fame.
She's my fancy, my pride, and I'll stick to her fast
While Allen's my name and her timbers will last.

* The builder of the Dazzler

betters from Rome. of the 24th, state that the police
are expelling suspected strangers in the most brutal
fashion. Tranquillity has not been further disturbed.
The loss sustained by the French army in their late
combats with the Kabyles would appear to have been much
more severe than has been acknowledged by the official
accounts. According to the correspondence of the Debats
the enemy have lost 1,200, of whom from 300 to 400 are
killed, while the French loss is set down at 650 hors de
combat, of whom 27 are officers, the number killed being
300. The two companies of the 10th which fell into an
ambush had 200 killed of whom five were officers.
MODERN CIVILIZATION.—it has often furnished mate-
rial for discussion in the philosophical world, whether
communities, in increasing their means of enjoyment,
have not proportionally multiplied their ills; if they have
discovered more curative processes, have they not, in
other directions, increased in a similar ratio the " ills
that flesh is heir to." If this question cannot be

structure in which it is placed is situated in the garden
part of the square, and somewhat resembles the Colos-
seum, the dome being about 70 feet in diameter. On
passing the vestibule the visitor enters a circular corridor,
of 250 feet in circumference, running around the bottom
of the globe, among the supporting timbers, and
which is now being decorated in the Moorish style.
The model is colossal. It is on the scale of ten
geographical miles to the inch horizontal, or six inches
to a degree, and one mile to an inch vertical ; the
diameter being no less than 60 feet. Visitors pass into
the interior of the ball, it having occurred to Mr.
Wyld, that by figuring the earth's surface on the interior
instead of the exterior, where only a limited view could
have been had, the observer would be enabled to em-
brace the distribution of land and water, with the physical
features of the globe at one view, and in this so well has
Mr. Wyld succeeded, that from the great size, the
spectator is scarcely aware that he is gazing on a con-
cavity. The ball is made up of some thousands of raised
bloclis or castings in plaster, from the original models of
mountain and valley, sea and river, in clay, the fitting of
which has been one of the principal, difficulties the con-
structor has had to encounter.

CLARE'S PATENT METALLIC CAEKS.—Mr. John
Clare, jun., of Liverpool, has just specified his patent for
improvements in the manufacture of metallic casks. The
invention consists in making casks from staves of sheet
metal, the object being to render them conveniently port-
able when not required for use. The staves are formed
with the requisite bilge and taper to produce a cask of the
desired form, and are provided with flanges at the edges
for securing them to each other, whick may be done by
bolts and nuts, or any other convenient method The
hoops may be made of wood, or of iron, being provided
in the latter case with, a screw to tighten them. The heads
of the casks may be formed of wood or metal, and retained
in their places between knees of angle iron. When the
casks are employed for containing fluids, it is recom•
mended to introduce a slip of India rubber between the
abutting flanges of the staves. The great advantages which
this novel description of cask affords can be best appre-
ciated by those parties who have to contend with and
endure losses and difficulties that cannot be overcome
when using wooden casks. The following combined im-
portant savings will be obtained lay employing the patent
metallic casks, especially for the various descriptions of
oils, water, &c. for emigrant ships :—lst. No absorp-
tion. 2nd. No shrinkage, consequently no leakage. 3rd.
Will contain at least twenty-five per cent. more than
a wooden cask of the same external size. 4th. Saving
in freight of one cask in fourlcasks. sth. In emigrant ships.
preserve sweetness of water, and hold what they gauge.
6th. Portability, by being spooked or packed when
empty, or raised from a shook by any one, in foreign coun-
tries, note mechanic, orcooper, by theirequalised uniformity
and simplicity of construction. There are several other
minor advantages, viz., durability, cannot be rat eaten,
burnt or broken, worth something as old iron when done,
&c. The patent, metallic casks, being composed of staves,
heads, and hoops, are so formed that no ordinary external
nor internal pressure (casks are subject to) can ever injure
them from the great strength achieved, their construction
' being upon the elliptic arch and key principle.
The curiosity of an honourable mind willingly rests
there, where the love of truth does not urge it further on-

words, it willingly stops at the point where the interests
of truth do not beckon it onward, and charity criee
