London, May 15. On Monday evening the 11th of May, a
sorrowful affair happened at the theatre in Amsterdam in
Holland, by some accident a small rope took fire by a candle
which communicated to the boxes, and in a few minutes the
whole house was in flames. The smoke and confusion was so
great, that, tho' many escaped out of the house, near 300
persons perished in the flames. Among them are some of the
first families in Holland. . .
