several other houses by FIe.-Between one and
two O'Clock this morning one of the most alarm
ing fires which we have witnessed for some years
In the metropolis broke out in the English Ope-
"a House in the Strand. So rapid was its progress
that in the space of about fifteen or twenty min
utes from its first discovery, the whole body of
the theatre was on fire. The flames assembled in
vast volume thirty or forty feet above its roof,
and spread with violence which threatened de-
struction to the whole of the mass of buildings,
which was confined by Exeter-street on the one
side. by Catharine-street on the other, and by
the Strand in front.
Looking down Exeter-street at one time, the
flames were seen passing from house to house
with as much rapidity as fire among stubble.-
One after another they seemed to be embraced
by the ames until the whole side fExtecr-street,
with the exception of that well known tavern,
the Fountain. became burning mass.
No lives were lost, as far as we could ascertain
up to late hour of this morning; but the loss o f
property must be very great, as from the inflam-
mable nature of the materials in the Theatre, and
the wind setting nearly north, about dozen hou-
ses were thoroughly on fire and burning furiously
before any engine could be brought to play upon
them.

The Tobacco Trade.-A petition to the
House of Commons has been signed by all the
principal houses engaged in this important trade,
and is to be presented tonight. The petitioners
complain, that in consequence of the lapse OF du-
ty on tobacco, by which one shilling per ID. ceas
ed to become payable, the trade sustained loss
of 25 per cent. on the stock on hand. The Pc
tition sets forth, that on the quantity of tobacco
in stock and in course of manufacture, not less
than 9125, SOS 2s had been lost to the subscri-
bers to the petition. The petitioners pray for an
investigation into their case, and especially as
they are the largest contributors to the duty in
the shape of revenue, and that the fact that their
property in machinery labour. and duty, the
latter of which is 200 per cent, on the raw ma
terial, entitle them to expect justice.
In the tobacco market there is not much doing.

REMOVAL OF THE INDIANS.
The House having, on motion of Mr.. Bell.
postponed the intervening orders, resumed the
bill of the Senate providing for the removal of
the Indians West of the Mississippi; when
MIR. HemphM rose, and moved that the bill be
recommitted to the Committee of the Whole
House, with instructions to amend the same in
the manner proposed last evening by Mr.. II.
Mr.. BeHwas decidedly opposed to the recon-
mitment, and deprecated re-opening the general
discussion of the bill, which must grow out of the
motion: Full opportunity had been given, he
SAID, for debating the measure, and every one
must have come to the conclusion that the adop-
ton of the amendment would be a rejection of
the DILL. He opposed the amendment on various
grounds, asserting that no three living men could
perform the duties proposed by the amendment,
IN twenty four months, much less in six months,
as was required-and was proceeding with his ar
gument; when message was received from the
Senate, announcing that it was now sitting as a
Court of Impeachment, and was ready to receive
the House of Representatives for the purpose of
having the plea and answer of James H. Peck.
in answer to the article of Impeachment prefer
red by the House.
On motion of Mr.. !Sorrs, of New-York. the |
House then resolved itself into Committee of
the whole, Mr.. p. p. Barbour being called to the
Phenix gazette. [volume] (Alexandria [D.C.]) 1825-1833, 1830-05-27
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,.

The joint resolution reported by Mr.. Carson,
from the Committee on Naval Affairs, some days
ago, proposing to continue the pay of the officers
of the Marine Corps as it was prior to March,
1929, until the end of the next session of Con-
gress, was taken up-the question being on its
third reading.
At the suggestion of Mr.. Drayton, the word
Subsistence was inserted after pay," and the
word allowances after g emoluments."
Mr.. Uicklife objected to the resolution, and
handed to the Chair long letter from the Fourth
Auditor, explaining his reasons for the construc-
ton which he had given to the law; which letter
was in part read, and then suspended, at the re.
questof
MIR. Carson, who explained the necessity for
the resolution, by referring to the hardships un-
der which the officers labored in consequence of
the reduction of their pay. by the construction
of the present Auditor The Auditor himself
thought the pay allowed by him was insufficient,
but he conceived he was restrained by the law
from allowing more. The object of the resolu-
ton was to authorize the Auditor to make the
same allowance as had been made by his prede-
cessors, until the end of the next session, when
Congress would have time tolegislate on the sub
ject. and put the matter on its proper footing.
MIR. McDufie said the case which the resoIu-
ton proposed to relieve, was one of extreme hard
ship and injustice. He threw.n blame on the
Auditor for his construction, but it made most
unjust discrimination between the officers in the
two branches of the service, which, was intend
ed should be put on the same footing. The act
organizing the Marine Corps in express terms
says, the Colonel shall receive the same pay, SC.
as Colonel in the army; but the army officers
are paid by one construction, and those of the
Marine Corps by another; and that now adopted
for the latter has altered the construction which
has prevailed for thirty years. and deprived them
of third of their pay. The consequence of
this sudden curtaiIment, said MIR. Med. is, that
some of the officers will have to go to jail unless
they are relieved by Congress.
Mr. Williams observed, that if the difficulty
was mere matter of construction. the Auditor
could return to the former one, and obviate the
grievance; but if the Interpretation be matter of
OF legal certainty, cannot change it by this re-
solution, and in this point of view he resisted this
resolution. Alegal provision can only be chang
ed by the same legal formality that established the
law complained of, and this resolution, therefore
could not reach the case, it could not authorize
the Auditor to construe the law differently.
Mr.. Miller remarked that this was case of
extraordinary character. The Audi
tor had BY his construction reduced the pay of
