THE IRONCLAD PRINCE CONSORT.

DUBLIN, Oct. 30.

The iron-clad frigate Prince Consort, Captain
Vesey, is lying off Kingstown greatly disabled,
having encountered a fearfal gale in the Channel.
Sho has sprung a leak, and is nearly filled with water.
But for the great exertions of her officers and crew
it is said she would have sunk in the Channel. All
her boats, guns, Sze., 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 producers
fiction. But the names of English novelists and versifiers
now living who may be said to unite rota originality of
thought and aim with conspicuous cleverness in workman-
ship are almost few enough to be counted on tine fingers.
Among these few Mr. George Meredith unquestionably
holds a place. His novel of " Evan, . Harrington," which
appeared three or four years ago, contained some o_f the
most purely original conceptions that have been attemVted
by any writer of novels of character ter, a long time paot-
The same may be said of the volumtNf poems which he
has, like Professor Kingsley, Miss bluloch, Mr. Farrar,
and half a score more, as in duty bound, composed and
published. He is in the habit of genuinely drawing from
his own resources of observation and reflection, and his
strong thought and quaint expression remind us, here e4cl
there—though at a considerable interval-,-of Robert 13rown-
Mg, In skill of phrase and rhyme he iff'quite as happy as
his greater contemporary, and often less obscure.
