SUN OFFICE, Quarter-past Two o'clock.

The reports from Manchester, Dudley, Glasgow,
and other manufacturing and mining districts, con-
tinue to be of a very gloomy description. From
South Staffordshire, we read that a body of colliers,
swelled by other large bodies as they advanced,
marched into Dudley on Wednesday. " The utmost
anxiety," says the Correspondent of a Morning Paper,
" was felt as they approached the town, and to meet
any emergency that might arise, a troop of the
Yeomanry Cavalry, and of the Third Dragoons,
were put in immediate readiness to act. There was,
however, no necessity for their interference. The
men walked into the town, to the number of fourteen
thousand, and proceeded through High-street, in a
sort of dead but sulky silence. The hum and buz
of their • conversation was the only indication of
their presence, and they were repeatedly charged
by their leader to observe order and silence. In this
manner they proceeded through the town and to the road
leading to Wednesbury, where the meeting was to
be held. On the road they were joined by thousands.
On arriving at the ground, there could not have been
less than '25,000 men, women, and children, all of
whom were interested in the proceedings. The in-
terest was increased by delegates from the Scotch
mines, who have now turned out. After several
speeches had been made, the meeting separated
in the most orderly manner. There can now
be no doubt of the fact, that a most
extensive organisation has been effected between the
miners in England and Scotland." In the above
simple, and apparently unexaggerated description,
there are one or two significant facts that must arrest
the attention of even the most unreflecting. The
" dead but sulky silence" of fourteen thousand as-
sembled individuals, and their determination to pre-
serve order, as if impressed with a deep and fervent
conviction of the inherent justice of the cause that
had brought them together ;—these facts, unimportant
as they may appear at first sight, are in reality of the
utmost moment, and indicate a spirit far different to
that which influenced the great majority of the work-
ing classes in the days of HUNT and Peterloo. 'I he pre-
sent movements would seem to be anything but
superficial ; they are not the outbreaks of mere bruta
ignorance, to be put down by the reading of a Riot
Act and the flourish of a few cavalry swords, but
bear evident tokens of design and premeditation.
Truly, Parliament breaks up under most auspicious
circumstances ! The very day which brings tidings
to the metropolis that the greater part of the North
of England is in commotion, and that the minirk
districts of Scotland also are on the move—that day
is the one selected by Sir ROBERT PEEL to send the
People's Representatives about their business !
What a significant comment are the present
and manufacturing outbreaks on The efficacy
of the remedial measures which the Tory Ministers
promised the country, on their first taking office. It
is the working classes that are now foremost in dis-
' playing their discontent with the present state of
things ; but the Income-tax, we suspect, will ere long,
produce a similar ferment among the middle classes.

We have just seen a letter from a manufacturer of
the highest standing, to a friend in London, written
yesterday, from which we make the following ex-
tract :

" The turn-out forces reached our premises at
eleven this morning, stopped everything, and let the
water out of the boilers to prevent our starting again.
• " They held a large meeting close to my gates.
Their speeches were not very violent. They want
the wages of. 1840, with ten hours labour per
day. They have no political knowledge, appa-
rently, and are ignorant of what they should
strive for. All mills are at a stand in Rochdale—the
shops are shut—and the whole neighbourhood is sud-
denly plunged into alarm and confusion."
" Peel, Graham, Famine, and Co., are respon-
sible for this; the end is hidden from us ; a few days
will bring better or worse events to pass. We are at
a stand, and so I am writing to my friends to let them
know our position. It is said Yorkshire is also dis-
turbed; if so, I fear we shall have bad days, for a
time at least."

The Paris papers of Wednesday have reached us,
but they contain no news of importance. The fol-
lowing are the only extracts worthy of notice :

The Moniteur of the 10th of August has nu official part.
There was a meeting of the Family Council yesterday
at Neuilly, at which the Chancellor, President of the
Chamber of Peers, presided. It consisted of the
Duke de Nemours and the Prince de Joinville, the
President of the Court of Cassation, and the President
of the Court of Accounts, and of M. Carchy, Secretary.
keeper of the Registers of the Chamber of Peers. •
The Regency Bill will be examined to-morrow in the
bureaux of the Chamber. It is generally believed that
the Chamber will have finished all the business before
thein before the end of this month, and that the Council
Geutmil of the Department may meet between the sth
and. the 10th of September. Lt all probability. M. unpin
will be appointed Reporter on the Regency
Constitutionnel, Aug. 10.
The Infant 1)on Francisco de Paula, with his whole
family, arrived at St. Sebastian on the 4th, at 10 o'clock
at night. Notwithstanding the lateness of the hour,
'their Royal Highnesses were received with all the
honours due to: their rank. The guns of the fortress
tired the usual salute. General San Miguel accumpanied
their Royal Highnesses.
The Iberia says that his Royal Highness, after taking
the waters, intends to make excursions into different
parts of the interior of.the kingdom.
We find the following paragraph in the Memorial
Bordelais of the Bth :--" As a proof of the favourable
sentiments which the Court of Madrid at present enter-
tain with respect to the French alliance, we learn from
Madrid that M. de Olozaga, Plenipotentiary of her
Catholic Majesty at Paris, who was going on leave of
absence to Andalusia, had delayed his departure, it is
said by order of the Government, that he may shortly
return to his post, which he quitted last year in conse-
quence of diplomatic differences between the two Courts."
`the Toulon Journal says that " the departure of
Admiral Hugon is again put off, it is said till Monday
next." We learn that the Calypso frigate, which has
sailed for Brest, is to go to the Brazils, and remain on
that station.—Le Commerce, Aug. 10.

In preparing the ground for the railroad along the
left bank of the Rhine, discoveries interesting to natu-
ralists have been made. sear Offenbuig, about thirty
feet below the surface, in a bed of marl, were found per-
tiolis of the skeleton of a mammoth, or antediluvian ele-
phant. They consist chiefly of a masticator, nearly per-
fect, and of two molar teeth, larger than any that have
hitherto been Mund in the valley of the Ehine. Each of
these is thirteen inches in length, arid weighs nearly
eleven pounds. At the saw.: time were turned up a great
number of teeth belonging to a species of • the horse,
which must have been an inhabitant of the volley in the
same remote ages as the mammoth..
