PETTICOAT GOVEBNIIENT.—A subject of more than
usual interest is just now under discussion in female literary
coteries. We allude to the new work under the very sug-
gestive title of " Petticoat Government," announced from the
pen of Mrs. Trollops. Mach difference of opinion exists Ca
to what it refers to. Sonic incline to expect an illustration.
of the universal rule of the sex, others as boldly pronounce
it a case of individual rule - many are content to see in it the
ordinary proceedings Gf a certain portion of the Queen's sub-
jects, while a few insist upon its relating exclusively to the
Sovereign.; The publication of.the work will, however, soon
Decide who is right ; and whatever view the acute and clever
authoress may have taken of "Petticoat Government," it
may safely be predicted that it will be both an amusing arid
original one.—Evening Paper.
