TEE IRONCLAD PRINCE CONSORT.

DUBLIN, Oct. 30.

The iron-clad frigate Prince Consort, Captain
Vesey, is lying off Kingstown greatly disabled,
having encountered a fearftil gale in the Channel.
Sha 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, &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.

AIR. GEORGE MEREDITH.—We are in the pre-
sent day, says the Saturday Review, overru.n by
clever writers of fiction, and of that species of verse Which
is spun from the same kind of intellectual web that produces
fiction. But the names of English novelists and versi ders
now living whu may be said to unite real originality' of
thought and aim with conspicuous cleverness in workma,n-
ship are almost few enough to be counted on the 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 of the
most purely original conceptions that have been attempted
by any writer of novels of character for a long time past.
The same may be said of the volume of poems which he
has, like Professor Kingsley, Miss Muloch, Mr. Farrar,
and half a score more, as in duty bound, composed arid
published. He is in the habit of genuinely drawing frcvl
his own resources of observation and reflection, and his
strong thought and quaint expression remind us, here alai
there—though at a considerable interval—of Robert Brown'
ing. In skill of phrase and rhyme he is quite as happy as
his greater contemporary, and often less obscure.
GRIGLINI'S WHIMSICAL LIBERALITY TO 1115
FELLOW-TOWNSMEN.—Signor Giugliai is a native
of Fano, a pretty town, him its sisters Pesaro and Urbino.
It has had the courage to spend half a million of lire in the
erection of a handsome theatre, the inauguration of which-
took pace last month. The citizens of Fano wrote to
Giuglini, asking to know how much he would accept, for
singing on an occasion so interesting to his native town.
With the whim of an artist, he replied that they did well to,
ask how much he would accept for singing, for, being a
singer by profession, he could not sing gratis for any one,
not even for his fellow-townsmen. A regular contract must
be made, and the managers of the theatre must bind thew'
themselves to pay him twopence per night. The contract
was subscribed in due form, and each evening that he sang
Giuglini received his ten centimes with a punctuality which
is nut always observed in the great theatres of Europe ; la 14;
then, indeed, the salary is not twopence, but £BO or £lOO a
night.

TO MAKE A SERMON.—Clergymen are
iiov
expectedl to have a fresh sermon ready every Sundtl,
says a Saturday Reviewer. It is be of a prescribed lengtb°
and to detain the congregation during a proper and dese
space of time, We all know how the ordinary elergYraart
meets the demand. He has half an hour's sermon to fill tips
and very Mlle to say. For the first ten minutes he managed
pretty well, and with reading the verses that come beta°
the text, and then those that come after, and so putting
tt
in exactly its right place, and what with reproducing those
obvious thoughts on the subject that may be found in an 9
commentary, he gets on very comfortably. But then b°
begins to be aware of a lack of matter. lie can, however,
turn his barrel-organ, and he goes through the process °
what he calls viewing the matter in another light. That IF,
he says the same thing over again in slightly iliffer'nt
words. So 20 minutes slip by, and then for the last ,
minutes be makes, as he swys, a practical application. DY
a pleasant fiction the congregation are supposed, during 311.
