EarIi Russell and Tin: Irish.?The aged Kussel I, who has distinguished himself as Primo Minister of England, is going to introduce in Parliament a scheme for homo rule iu Irolaud.

Tho Now York Evening Post says: Tbo romantic story of tho bulls of St. Michael's Church ia Charleston, South Crolm?, wl?icb we copied u day or two ago frotu Mrs. Carson's book, reminds us of an incideut iu relutiou to that church which probably has never bann \ printed, or if it has, is old enough and iuturesting euough to bo told again. Wo heard it related long siuco by au old lady who witnessed it when nho was a young girl?porhaps eighty years ago. This lady, who was from Massachu? setts, was ou a visit at Charleston iu the latter part of the last century. It was at n time when there occurred a fire which burued up a considerable portion of tho city, und which for many yeats marked uu era iu its history as "tho time of tho great firo;" though, doubt? less, that aucieut dato has been wiped out by eveuts more recent aud moro dis? astrous. St. Michael's, however, was theu, as it bus always continued to be, the prido of tho citizens of Charleston, who truly claimed that it served, from its height, us a beacon to sailors ap? proaching tho coust, uud was tho lust thing sighted, far out ut sea, by those who were outward bound. Aud not ouly was it thoir pride, but it almost seemed to them that Providoncu had tho beauti tul old church iu its special keeping, when, tho morning after the groat Uro, tboy turned their eyes upward to seo its lofty spire almost pioromg the clouds, while beneath and all arouud it lay iu blackoued ruins tho fairest and largest part of their beloved city, and tho ashes of so many of tho homes of the stric'iou people. It had, however, barely escaped destruction, aud that by an act of hero? ism which is now, perhups, forgotten in Uhul'lcstou, but is recalled by a native of Massachusetts as a pleasant reminiscence of his childhood und of tho venerable woman who told of the bravo act of which she was an eye-witness. Whiie the lire was ragiug aud the winde city seemed doomed to destruc? tion, thu Mayor und Aklermeu sat iu solemn aud anxious council to doviso ways and means to stay tho conflagration and to provide for those who hud lost all their worldly possessions, and who stood half-uaked uud shivering by tho smoul? dering ruins of their homes. The news came to them presently that St. Michael's was iu danger, f .<r tho fire was approach? ing tho square where it stood, aud a Storm of great burning brands was showered down upon its rnof aud hurled uguinst its steeple. Men upon the roof put out thu fiery missiles us they fell, aud could reach aud dislodge those that fastened themselves upon the lower por? tion uf tue spire; but the danger was that some burning shingle, boruo far up iu tho air by tbo gale, would make a lodgment out of reach, ensuring, not ouly the destruction of the church, but spreading tho naming messengers far and wide, from the great jhcight, over p irl.i of the city as yet uutouchod by the rain of fire. The fear was well founded. It was not long before a Hying brand caught and fastened itself upou the top? most height of tho spire. The specta? tors watched it anxiously, in tho vaiu hope that it would drop before its blaze caught upou tho surrounding wood? work; but, held to its place, perhaps by the wind, it kindled brighter aud bright? er, till it was plain that unless some huiuuu baud could pluck it down, the spire and all that would be involved iu its destruction were doomed. The help? less crowd looked up aud watched tho burning brand, butamoug them all there was nut ouo man fearless enough or active enough to attempt to scale the I....in,... * .t.1 Iii? b...x.j ...... ..... Council stood in the .square below, pow? erless and despairing like the rest, but oilering a large reward to any ouo who would attempt tho daring feat uf dis? lodging that speck of flame tiiat dickered iu the gulo ut the very summit of tho steeple, aud grew each moment brighter, and would not fall. Rut preseutly it man appeared iu the belfry of tho church, uud leaning over the railing looked upward, as if measur? ing with his eyes the distance of the many feet of almost perpendicular ascent that still lay between htm and the spot of 11 imo above him. Then he mounted upou tho railing uud stretched his hands I above him upou tho steeple. From the crowd of thousands below went up one single mighty shout that almost shook the air about him; theu a great silence fell upon tho multitude as they held their breaths, and their Upturned faces grew white in the ruddy light us they watched his progress. Slowly, paiuflllly, carefully ami steadily he crept tip, und up, raising himself from one slight pro? jection to another; invisible to those be? low, but which served him for a foot? hold ami which his hands could grasp. All around for many squares tho tire raged unheeded, aud men forgot their bli'ziug homes, us by the light of their burning they watched this solitary figure creeping hundreds of feet above j them, up St. Michael's steeple. At length, the brand was within his reach, ami bidding ou with one hand only, lie seized the bla/.iug mass with tho other, and hurled it clear into the tquuro bo low, aud tho spire stood out black once more against tho sky, with uo light upon it except the reflection from tho burning houses. Rut not yet did the crowd dare to shout out their exultation that St. Miehuel's was saved, for its savior still clung, a moving speck beneath the golden ball, the sfght of which thu sailors greeted so far out to sea. Slowly, pain? fully, carefully, steadily ho began the more difficult descent, and not till ho had stepped safely and firmly over the railing and into tho belfry of the church j did the mighty shout of men, who hailed j a great deliverance and recognized au act of daring heroism, riso above the roar of the surrounding fire. St. Michael's was saved ami the man was safe. At the church door, tho Mayor and corporation uud a surging crowd of peo? ple met him. Who ho was that had per formed that fearful feat, none knew; they could only- jo that it was a man who climbed the spiro, but in the lurid light, so many feut abovu them in the air, they had not scon that ho was black. Ho stood ut the church door, and they saw not only that he was black; bo was a slave. But uono the less had he saved St. Michael's; and as the burgesses of Aix ordered their last measure of wiuo to bo given to tho good horso Roluud, who brought tho good uews from Ghent, so tho Mayor of Charleston gave, on the spot, his freedom to the negro elavo who had plucked tho burning brand from the very summit of St. Michael's spire, and saved tho city and tho church. Commenting on thoabove, the Charles? ton Courier says: There were several errors in the ac? count takeu from tho New York Evening Post, and published in yesterday's Cou? rier, regarding the alleged saving of St. Michael's Bteeple. The inoident referred to di<l ocour in June, 1790, but St. Phil? lip's was the steeple that was saved by tho negro man, and not St. Michael's. A very accurate statement of the affair may be found in Mr. W. L. King's book, "Tho Newspaper Press of Charleston." Tho name of the colored man who so courageously saved the steeple, says the acoouut in Mr. King's book, was Will, md ho belonged to Mr. Charles Linniug. A committee was appointed to appraise his value, and tho committee reported to tho vestry of the church that "they had estimated the value of the said Will at ?175 sterling." The umount was paid to his owner, who subscribed ?10 to? wards tho project, and, Will being called and informed of hi-j emancipation, re? quested that ho might be called iu form "Will Phillip Linning."
