May 15.  On Monday evening, the 11th of May, a sorrowful
affair happened in 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 though many escaped out of the house, near three
hundred persons perished in the flames.--Among them are some
of the first families in Holland. . .
