At the distance of one hundred and forty-two feet lay down a pea \ it will be the similitude of Venns , our dazzling evening and morning star . Two hundred and fifteen feet from the central globe place aoother pea , only imperceptibly larger ; that is man ' s world —( once the

Jupiter as a middle-sized orange , distant about a quarter of a mile ; Saturn , with his ring , a lesser Grange , at the remoteness of two fifths of a mile ; and the

      far Uranus dwindles into a cherry , moving in a circle three quarters of a mile in radius . Such is tbe system of which our puny earth was once accounted the chief constituent—a syxtem whose real or absolute dimensions are stupendous , as maybe gathered from the sun him ? elf—the glurious globe around which tbese orbs obediently circle ; which has a diameter nearly four times larger than thw immense interval which separates the moon from the

      earth . Compare this mighty diameter , cr the space of nine hundred thousand miles , with the assumed diameter of two feet , and the proportion will tell by bow many times tbe suppositious orbit of Uranus should be enlarged !

      The acts of Parliament , by which any additional civil force can be procured , are the 3 d and 4 th ffm . 4 , c . 90 , entitled " An act to repeal an act of the 11 th year of his la ' e Majesty King Geerge the 4 th , for the lighting and watching of parishes in England and Wales , and to make other pro vision * in lieu thereof , " by which the rate payers can tax themselves for the purpose of watching . The act 1 st and 2 d Wm . 4 c . 41 , ( amended by the 5 th and 6 th . Wm . 1 V c . 43 , ) entitled "An act for amending , the laws relative to the appointment of special constables , and for the better preservation of the peace , " ¦ 'by virtue of which , on apprehension of felony , or breach of the peace , special constable * may be sworn in , and paid out of the county rate . For carrying into effect the provision of this last mentioned act the magistrates might 6 btaiuAdsicitaQc * from the metropolitan police , or from the police of any corporate town in their neighbourhood . -

      But it appears to me that , both for . the ordinary administration of justice , and for tft « -extraordinary occasions whea the peace of a district is threatetted ^ it is most desirable to form and maintain an efficient constabulary force , which may be placed under the direction of the magistrates , and kept in a constant state of discipline . Such a body might , according to the wants of the county , be distributed Over many districts , or concentrated so as to meet a special emergency . ¦ . Should such a body be formed in the connf y of Lancaster lor example , it appears to me that its formatiou and govebment should be confided to the magistrates of the county , but that it should undergo a regular yearly inspection , as the yeomanry corps n ifo # Bot befo » e I enter into any detail * , I should be glad to lunrn from your Lordship whether the general proposition wouldmeet with concurrence of the magistrates .
