London, May 16. Letters by yesterday's Holland mail bring
the following melancholy account. On Monday evening last,
just before the beginning of the Flemish Opera at the
Theatre in Amsterdam, a small rope belonging to some of the
machinery took fire, owing to a candle having been by
accident placed immediately under it, which communicated
itself to the boxes with such rapidity that in a very few
minutes the whole house was in flames. . . [9 lines]
