TILE ORGANISED TRADES OF SIIEFFIELD AND THE
SAW GRINDERS' UNION.—Who following is the resolution
which was pissed by the Executive of the Association of
Organised Trades of Sheffield on Wednesday night

"'That this Executive has read with pain and regret the
resolutions purporting to have been passed at a meeting of
the Saw Grinder& Union on the 13th inst., and hereby
expresses its conviction that the said resolutions amount,

if not to a justification, at least to a palliation, of the dia
bolical acts perpetrated by Broadhead and his wicked ac
complices, and that the Society of Saw Grinders, by passing
such resolutions become accomplices in the destruction of
property, personal violence, and murder for trade purposes;
and that this Executive, viewing such deeds with the ut-
most abhorrence and disgust, assures the said Society of
Saw Grinders that till they have purged themselves from
such abominable practices, which are an outrage on
humanity as well as on trade societies, and the working
classes generally, and further, till they have shown by
their conduct contrition for their past misdeeds and give
a guarantee that for the future such fiendish practices shall
be discountenanced by the said society, the Executive of
the Association of Organised Trades cannot and will not
hold communion with, or bo in any way, either directly
or indirectly, connected with that society."
A PERILOUS ADVENTURE.—On Sunday three
young gentlemen loft North Berwick with tbo intention of
walking to Tantallon CAstle by the rocks. On reaching a
point near their destination, however, they found, from the
state of the tide, that they must either retrace their steps
a proceeding in itself attended with some danger, as the
tido was making rapidly—or attempt the ascent of the
cliffs, which at that part are almost perpendicular, although
accessible enough when viewed from beneath. One of the
party chose the former, the others the latter, alternative,
r.ed, as it proved, the more dangerous of the two. With
the gr, .ttest difficulty they reached within about 15ft. of
the summit, when they found it impossible, from the
nature of the ground, to proceed further together. With
the assistance of his companion, the slighter of the two
succeeded in scrambling to the ledge ; but so much had the
earth close to the top been loosened by his doing so that
he was shocked to find, on looking back, the ascent was
now made totally impracticable for his friend,who now was
in a most perilous position. Retreat was impossible ; one
single false step, indeed, would have resulted in certain
destruction. his more fortunate companion, unable to do
more than beg him to remain perfectly quiet, at once went
for help, and at a neighbouring farm-house procured ropes,
and the assistance of a man. Returning quickly to the spot,
he found his friend still clinging to the cliff, and by this
time much exhausted. The ropes were then thrown round
him, and with considerable difficulty he was at length
safoly brought to tho top.—Scotsman.
