[News from 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. . .
