The Earl of' MANSFIELD, who has at no period been

much be- loved by his neighbours, has of late become so unpopular in Perth- shire, from his factious opposition to the Reform Bill, that he was seriously urged by his family not to trust himself at Scone Palace, lest he should be exposed to personal danger. It has been thought prudent to barricade the mansion, and to maintain an armed guard of servants round it. A pretty picture of rural felicity !
