THE BALLAD OF R)ARING HANNA.

Respectfully dedicated to the Anthor of the Ballad of
" Oriana."

(From Punch.)
Reverend Drew and Cooke and Roe,
Roaring Hanna,
Preaching in the streets forego,
Roaring Hanna,
Where Orange hates and Papi,t, glow,
In church 'twere wiser, if more *low,
Roaring Hanna!
To preach " the word" without " the blow,"
Roaring Hauna
Think yon seed of Christian sewing,
Roaring Hanna,
Like to thrive by blood set flowing,
Roaring Hanna 1
Staves were going, stones were throwing,
The gospel trump to battle blowing,
Roaring Hanna I
And the row to you was owing,
Roaring Hanna
In your sables, black as night,
Roaring Hanna,
Cheek and choker both so white,
Roaring Hanna,
Your congregation armed for flit,
With staves in carnal fiats hel I tight,
Roaring Hanna,
" Peace and good will" how well you cite,
Roaring Hanna I
Behind the Harbour-office wall,
Roaring Hanna,
Girt by yoar Lisburn lade so tall,
Roaring Hanna,
What's faction's flame, or hatre i's gall,
What's riot, bloodshed, row, or bra NI,
Ii )aring Hanna,
To one who boasts an inwar I call,
Raaring Hanna I

In vain the m a gistrates
Roaring Hanna ;
Your rights were you to set wide,
Roaring Hanna ?
Your rights were you to set aside,
Fc r Papist•, though with guns supplied,
Roaring Hanna I
Deemed they you lacked al Christian pride,
Roaring Hanna

"Sermons in stones" doth Shake-spare traco,
Roaring Hanna ;
But "Stones in Sermons" suit your c ase,
Roaring Hanna ' •
Soon on your true-blue babes of grace,
The Papist ruffians rushed apace,
Roaring Hanna,
And argument to staves give place,
Roaring Hanna.
A fair sight for the Sabbath day,
Roaring Hanna,
And one you well to heart may lay,
Roaring Hamm
How blest must be the prayers you say,
Mid curse and cry of party-fray,
Roaring Hanna ;
Nothing like oil can fire allay,
Roaring Hanna

Thin all remonstrance from t'm Beak,
Roaring Hanna ;
Off Clarke and Coates were forced to sneak,
Roaring Hanna.
How I respect thy saintly cheek,
That law's protection dares to seek,
Roaring Hanna,
Law which thou wert the first to break,
Roaring Hanna.
Thou criest aloud ; none heed thy cries,
Roaring Hanna,
The worst-used man 'ncath Irish skies,
Roaring Hanna c
The bloody Papists may Prise,
Break Orange heads, black Orange eycs,
Roaring Hanna,
'Cause Protestants have done likewise,
Roaring Hanna
Oh Papist triumph, True blaa woe !
Roaring Hanna,
Oh Orange splendours waxing low !
Roaring Hanna!
Shall Papists vile give blow for blow,
And Justice not, as long ago,
Roaring Hanna,
'Twixt them and us a dentine know I
Roaring Hanna !
When the Hussars charge down the quay,
Roaring Hanna,
When fire the Green Constablary,
Roaring Hanna,
Let grateful Belfast think of thee,
That sleeping party-hates set free
Roaring Hanna,
And bid him calm, who roused that see,
Roaring Hanna!

SPECULATING SPIRITS.—The Buffalo _Republic states
that hankers, brokers, and speculators, in that city, are
in the habit of visiting mediums, and table turning and
spirit rapping circles. We have beard, it says, in
dances where spirits have been consulted prior to en-
gaging in large speculative operations, which since have
proved disastrous. Loans to large amounts have been
made by banks and brokers at the suggestion and on the
recommendation of spirits. Railroad stocks have been
purchased and produce in large quantities bought on the
advice of table tipping mediums.
DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT BRIXTON.—Liiit night great
excitement prevailed in the immediate vicinity of Brix-
ton, in consequence of a fire of a very formidable charac-
ter taking place in the premises belonging to Mr. Samuel
Bamford, carpenter, builder, joiner, &c., carrying on
business at No. 5, Carlton-terrace, Loughborough-road,
opposite the Hero of Switzerland tavern. The premises
in which the disaster commenced were nearly 100 feet
long, and were used as workshops, in which was depo-
sited a costly stock in trade, as well as the whole of the
workmen's tools and other effects ; independent of which
a timber-yard belonging to the same gentleman, and
well stored with piles of ti iiher and other building
materials, was in danger of being consumed. The police,
under Mr. Inspector Emmerson and Sergeant Ham-
mond, No. 10 P, at once commenced removing the
timber from the front and back yards, and they also
placed ladders to the back fronts of the surrounding
dwellings, in case the flames should take a contrary
direction ; but, fortunately, such was not the case, for
owing to the indefatigable exertions of the firemen of
the London Brigade, Beaufoy's vinegar works, and the
West of England Office, they were enabled eventually
to
extinguish the flames, but not before the building
in
which the fire commenced and all it contained were re-
duced to ruins. As to the origin of the fire nothing
that could be depended upon could be learned. The
sufferer was insured in the British Empire Mutual Fire
Office, and the building was insured in the Pticenix Fire
Office, The police rendered essential service to Mr.
Henderson, tho foreman of the brigade, and the men
under him, by lieepiag en uniumso crowd out of danker.
