FRENCH OPINION OF ENGLISH POLITICS.—" The
Opposition does not appear to be yet organized—Mr.
BROUGHAM is silent—Mr. TIERNZY makes some stir,
but without producing any effect. Mr. LAWSON, a
man of a yery caustic spirit, and of a fertile imagi-
nation, although somewhat bizarre, is at present the
Opposition Orator who shews the greatest•talent." ill

STREET ACQUAINTANCL—A young Lady, walking
in Oxford-street, last Thursday, was accosted by a
person wearing the garb of a Gentleman, and in-
stead of declining the conversation of one who was a
total stranger to her, as she ought to have done, she
permitted him to accompany her part of the way
homeward. He invaded upon her, under the pre-
tence that she might be fatigued, to acceo a• seat
with him in a hackney-coach ; and before they drove
very far, she was made sensible of the very great in-
discretion she had committed. -Her companion be-
came at length so rude, that she cried out to the pas-
sengers in the street to stop the coach, which was ac-
cordingly done, and fortunately she thus escaped the
danger to which she had exposed herself.
