ARREST FOR PASSING COUNTERFEIT HONEY.
Officers Fleck and Cole, of the consolidated
police, this morning arrested a German Jew
named Henry Hoffman, charged with passing
counterfeit money. He was taken before Jas
tice Beader and searched, when the sum of
forty-eight dollars in counterfeit notes, most
of which were two dollar bills on the Columbia
Bank, were found in lis possession He was
sent to prison to answer.
DISGRACEFUL num.—During the progress of
the fire last night, a pirty of soldiers got into
a dispute, which terminated in a disgraceful
fight, to the great prejudice of the faces, eyes,
and noses of several of the combatants, which
we're seriously battered. No arrests were
made ; but several trophies in the shape of
soldiers' caps were picked up at the scene of
the conflict, by citizens. and deposited by them
at the Mayor's office, where the owners can
get them by calling personally.

Srus. Butansa.—The ruins of the Planing
Mill and Sash Manufactory, with the surround
ing piles of lumber and out-buildings, were still
burning this morning, requiring the use of a
portion of the fire apparatus to extinguish the
spreading flames. The burned district presents
a dessolating scene, and the visitor is now
only enabled to form a correct idea of the great
extent of the conflagration last night. It was
emphatically the largest and most destructive
conflagration we have had in this city since the
memorable fires of 1838, at the corner of Mar
ket and Fourth streets.

NARROW ESCAPE —During the fire last night,
a young man named George Brown fell into an
ice vault in the stable of Mr. Sawbee. Forma
nately the •accident was perceived by a boys
who gave the alarm, when several of the fire
men, procuring a light and a ladder, descended
Into the vault, and succee,b-d, with considera
ble difficulty, in bringing young Brown to the
top. He stated that he had gone into the stable
with the view of aiding to save its contents,
when he stepped into the vault, which was
uncovered, and fell head foremost to the bot
tom, where, stunned by the fall, he lay in au
unconscious state until the men came to re
move him. What rendered his position ex
tremely dangerous, was the fact that at the
moment of his fall the upper end of the stable
was on fire, and the entire building was threat
ened with speedy destruction by the devouring
element.
PROVERBIAL PHILOSOPHY—BY MARTIN EMUS-
Rea Tt vpEß• — Well begun is half done: so
saith the Proverb ; and it is a wi se law which
is capable of many applications. We intend,.
however, at present to make but one, and then
to give an example by way of illustration. Our
application is this : we hold that the Pro
verb may be thus interpreted: When one is about
to deliver a lecture, his work 73 already half done
when he has chosen a good subject. Next comes our
example by way of illustration. The Rev.
Franklin Moore has chosen as the subject of his
lecture to be delivered this evening, at seven
and a half o'clock, P. it., in the Presbyterian
church, corner of Third and. Pine streets, on
behalf of the Young Men's Christian Associa
tion, ACTION THE LAW or LIFE. Oar practical
remark is that when this subject was chosen,
the work was half done, and that we shall have
a good lecture. 'Single tickets 25 cents.—
Family tickets 60 cents. For sale at the book
and drug stores and at the door.
Mr - asacious I —Yesterday afternoon numbers
of wild geese passed over the city in a north
ward direction. The presence of these fowls
indicate that the winter has passed, and they
are now returning to the great lakes at the
north, where they spend the summer and rear
their young. The ducks are generally earlier
than the geese in their migrations northward,
as they are earlier coming southward.
CARRIAGES AT AUCTION. —A t tendon is directed
to the advertisement, in this evening's TELE
GRAPH, of the thirty-second trade sale of car
riages at auction, on Wednesday, April 2, at
the Brzaar, corner of Ninth and brinsom street,
Philadelphia. It will be the largest sale of car
riages ever held in Philadelphia, and our read
ers in want of vehicles of this kind should en
deavor to be present.
[From our Morning Edition.)
DISTRUCEIVIC CONFLACMATION.—Trutiin,9er dr
Pancake's Raining Mill and Sash Manufactory in
Ruins.—About 8 o'clbck last night our citizens
were startled by the thrilling cry of "fire !"
"fire!" quickly followed by the deep tolling of
the church and fire bell's', and the appearance of
a lurid light in the southern horizon, which il
lumined the lower section of the city, indicat
ing an extensive conflagration, which was soon
A.cover, , d to be caused by the burning of the
large two-story frame building occupied as'a
planing mill and sash manufactory by Messrs.
Trullioger & Pancake, situated in Race street,
a short distance below Paxton.
Our noble firemen were quickly in motion,
and quickly arrived upon the ground, but owing
to the Ji mace and scarcity of water, the ex
tensive building was almost enveloped in
flames before the fire apparatus could be put in
motion.
The manufactory stood within an enclosure
fronting on Race street about two hundred and
ten feet, and extended back about one hundred
and five feet to Water street. On its north and
west sides were long ranges of sheds, shaped
like the letter L, extending to an equal length
and width with the manufactory. These con
tained about five hundred thousind feet of pan
net lumber, a great part of which had been
worked up into window sashes, doors, &c., all
of which was entirely consumed.
On the southern side of the burning manu
factory were piles of lumber in process of sea
soninQ, and adjoining them on Water street,
was a large two story frame building, owned
by Mr. Sanbee, which were also dCstroyed.
A two story frame blilding belonging to Mr.
Walttneyer, also on Water street, a short dis
tance below the property of Mr. Saubee, was
coasiderably turned, and only saved from
complete destruction by the almost superhu
man efforts of the firemen.
Mr. Seubee's stables and a number of sheds
and other out-buildings, on the lots east of the
manufactory, as far as Race street, were also
consumed. • .
The manufactory itself burned with frightful
violence and rapidity, and within half an hour
from the time of its first discovery, the fire had
entirely consumed the immense structure, with
nearly all its machinery and other valuable
contents.
At one time the flames from the burning
buildings covered over two acres of ground,
brilliantly illuminating the river and Its dis
tant shore, presenting a scene at once awful
and grand
The intense beat of the flames greatly en
dangered the Black Horse tavern, its extensive
stabling, the buildings on Bitce street, opposite
the manufactory, and even buildings several
hundred feet distant.
During the progress of the fire a brisk wind
sprang up from the west, which increased the
violence of the flames in an easterly direction.
Fortunately, however, by this time, the fire
men were well supplied with water, and by
concentrating their efforts in this direction,
they finally succeeded in arresting the progress
of the devouring element
Of course, amid the bustle and confusion
upon the ground last night, it was utterly im
possible for us to ascertain with any' degree
of correctness, the extent of the loss by the fire,
and therefore contentourselves by enumerating
the buildings destroyed, adding such estimates
as we heard made upon the spot.
The plaining mill and sash manufactory
with neary all its machinery, and a great
quantity of worked up lumber. The sheds
filled with panel lumber, a great part worked
up. Several smaller oat-buildings, and a large
quantity of piled up lumber in process of
seasoning. The above belonged to Messrs.
Truilinger & Pancake. Loss estimated at
$30,000. It is stated that they are secured
only to the amount of $7,000, two thousand of
which is in the Lycoming Mutual.
A two storyframe house and stable, owned
by Mr. Saubee. Totally destroyed. Loss es
timated at $l,BOO. A large portion of Mr.
Saubee's furniture was consumed, and between
two and three hundred dollars in gold and sil
ver coin. He is partially insured.
A two-story frame house and stable owned
by Mr. Waltmeyer, partially destroyed. Lose
estimated at about $2OO. We do not know If
he is insured.
Besides these buildings were scverarstables,
entirely consumed, whose owners 'names we
could not learn.
Taking altogether, the aggregate loss by the
fire may safely be estimated at about $BO,OOO.
The flames were first discovered issuing from
the lumber shed at the western corner of the
lot, and as no fire is used within two hundred
feet of that locality, the presumption is that it
was the work of an incendiary.
IN THE manufacture of an article so indispen
sable in this climate to health as well as com
fort, as an umbrella, weight is a most impor
tant consideration. Since their first introduc
tion into this country, about the year 178 D,
until the Paragon frame was invented by Mr.
Fox, and patened by him, the Paragon frame
is proved to be the lightest ever made, being
less than half the weight of whalebone, al
though considerably stronger; the ribs are im
ported and' made up for sale at Mr. H. Lee's
establishment, 69 Market street below Third.
He has also a large assortment of gold and
silver head walking canes, together with fancy
canes, suitable for presents. Call .and examine
the Paragon umbrella.

THE UNION AND CONSTITUTION.
"Om GovEßNmearr : an explanatory statement of the
system of government of the country, presenting a
mew of the government of the United States, and
of those of the several States." By M.WKINNEY
At the presentjuneture a patriotic sentiment, founded
on a knowledge of our civil institudons, should be spe
cially cultivated, as the chief element. of nationality. It
can be operative and abiding forusefulpurposes, only as
induced by an intelligent approbation of the nature and
principles of our government. Such intelligence, familiar
and general among all classes of the people, is essential
to the permanence and prosperity of the government.
This is requisite e , pecially now, irons the extraordinary
events of the time, and the vastly important questions of
national polity soon to be solved. The above work gives
the construction of the provisions of the Constttut on of
the United States, and of those of the several Seates, Pa
determined by judicial authority and settled practice, or
derived from standard writers. it is a fact, that the
views ot constitutional 'aw thzs presented on some sub
jects of the greatest Importance, which formerly and at
the time of the that publication of the book were discuss
es with much difference of °Tinton, have become recog
nized as settled doctrines, to be acted on in reference to
the highest interests of the intion in this most event ful
period.
