THE IRONCLAD PRINCE CONSORT.

DUBLIN, Oct. 30.

The iron-clad frigate Prince Consort, Captain
Vesey, is lying off Kingstown greatly disabled,
having encountered a fearful gale in the Channel.
Sha has sprung a leak, and is nearly filled with water.
Bat for the great exertions of her officers and crew
it is said she would have sunk in the Channel. All
her boats, guns, &c., are in confusion, and several
of the crew have been seriously injured. She put in
this morning, and soon after anchoring parted her
cables, and was obliged to drop a second anchor,
by which she now rides, about a mile and a half
from the East Pier. There was seven feet of
water in her yesterday. The pumps have only
gained an inch.

MR. GEORGE MEREDITH.—We are in the pre-
sent day, says the Saturday _Review, overrun by
clever writers of fiction, and of that species of verse which-
is spun from the same kind of intellectual web that produe
fiction. But the names of English novelists and versifiers
now living who may be said to unite real originality of
thought and aim with conspicuous cleverness in workman'
ship are almost few enough to be counted on the fiagers•
Among these few Mr. George Meredith unquestionably,
holds a place. His novel of " Evan Harrington," which
appeared three or jour years ago, contained some of the
most purely original conceptions that have been attempted
by any writer of novels of character for a low; time pest'
