THE TIMES AND THE LANDLORDS. - The death of Mr. Walter has let loose the madness of the Times. His was the guiding hand of that great engine, we are told :  tone from his own mind. The clog is now removed, and the machine is whirling along in the full swing of demo cratic madness. An article in that journal of -last Thursday probably exceeds in foul vituperation and unscrupulous lying anything that ever yet appeared in the lowest  dijuling, instead- of answering those who differ from his patron, and conscientiously believe, as well they may, that free-trade is fraught with no blessings to this land ;  but he directly charges them with crimes that deserve the gallows. There is no delicacy about the matter : the style is of the pure " brick-bat-and-bludgeon" order. " Your Bentincks, your Yorkes, your Newdegates, your Felloweses," and all who think with them, are neither more nor less than robbers and murderers—" a blessed company of faithful men, who in all the righteousness of robbery are able to look down on us sinners"—a set of " agricultural freebooters," whose great commandment is, thou shalt steal," whose godliness is gain," and who despise honest men, "as the Highland robber did his shopkeeping, law-keeping cousin : they enjoy the calm delights, if not of successful spoil, at least of an unimpaired zest for it." These are the terms which the great prop of the Peel-policy applies to the landed gentry of ' England. THE BARNARD CASTLE " Bows."—Considerable excitement preyailed in this town on Wednesday week in consequence of Mr. Farrer having announced his intention to address the electors from the King's Head Inn, at three o'clock in the afternoon. At the appointed time his carriage drove up to the inn, where he was received with deafening yells and hisses from the assemblage ; and in front of the inn was stationed a man dressed in red (Mr. F.'s colour), mounted on a donkey, and carrying an effigy suspended on a gibbet. Another person carried a pole, on the top of which was a loaf of bread), and underneath, in large letters, " Protection is shaken !" Sundry other devices were exhibited, demonstrative of the popular feeling towards Mr. Ferrer ; and, on his appearance on the balcony, a disgraceful scene ensued. He was saluted with a perfect shower of penny rolls and red herrings, accompanied by the most discordant noises imaginable ; and seventeen squares of glass in the windows were demolished. All this he bore very patiently, and made several attempts to speak. He could not, however, obtain a hearing, the crowd being determined to " put him down." Mr. Morritt, of Rokeby Hall, next made his appearance; and although a popular man in the district, he could not induce the crowd to hear Mr. Farrer. One person in the crowd attracted Mr. Morritt's attention, and he threw him a shilling, remarking that he deserved more for being so uncommonly clever at making " a d—d ugly face.' After other drolleries, Mr. Morritt said, " will you hear Mr. Farrar)" and he was answered with a tremendous "No !" He then withdrew, and Mr, Farrer very wisely got into his carriage at the back part of the inn, and was some distance from Barnard Castle ere the crowd were aware of his departure, No further disturbance took place, the crowd quietly dispersing. During the row a boy got his thigh broken by one of the carriage horses.— Gateshead Observer,
