The arrival of the steamship Nova Scotian, from Liverpool 2d inst., with four days later news is an- nounced. The extremely warm weather of the last few days was tempered yesterday afternoon by & co- pious shower, accompanied by thunder and light- ning. The electricity put a partial stop to tele- graphic operations. Both of the lines leading South were prostrated by the storm yesterday after- noon, and such reports of Congressional proceed- ings as we have been able to obtain, came via Philadelphia, Pittsburg, Cleveland and Buffalo, traversing a distance of over a thousand miles, and are necessarily imperfect. It was after one o'clock this morning when we commenced re- ceiving our Southern and Western mews, by the Baffalo line, that and the House Boston line being the only ones working out of this city. The shower gradually tapered off to a steady northeasterly rain storm, which continued far into the night. In the surrounding country this rain will be most wel- come, and will help crops along greatly; and it was scarcely less desirable in this city, in clearing the streets and purifying the pavements. So far the summer promises well. At the meeting of the Board of Aldermen last evening a resolution appropriating $300,000 to the Central Park improvements was adopted. Inter- esting communications relative to repairing fire en- gines and roads were received from the Street Com- missioner, and appropriately referred. The docu- ments may be found in our report of the proceedings. The Board of Councilmen were in session last evening and received an important communication from the Street Department relative to the condi- tion of the bureau of the Collector of Assessments, @ perusal of which will show our citizens how the taxes have been increased to the present enormous sum. The Board concurred with the Aldermen in recommending the Comptroller to purchase from Alexander McCotter all the property on Ward's Island not owned by the Corporation and the Com- missioners of Emigration, by a vote of 13 to 4. The price is $1,500 per acre. The Health Commissioners yesterday adopted re- solutions to require all vessels arriving from ports where yellow fever prevails, even when free of dis ease, to discharge their cargoes on lighters at Quar- antine. Vessels arriving with sickness on board, or having had sickmess on board during the voyage, discharge cargoes on lighters in the lower bay. The trial of Cancemi, the Italian charged with the murder of policeman Anderson, has progressed thas far without eliciting anything new or important, except that yesterday one of the witnesses for the prosecution, Mathias Louth, the rag picker, testified that he had been offered as much as three thousand dollars by one of the prisoner's counsel and his brother and one of the jurymen serving in the case. A report of the evidence is given in another column. The trial of Martin Dowd, charged with the homicide of Jobn Dooley, was commenced yester- day in the Court of General Sessions. The prisoner, who is an elderly man, is charged with having, on the 7th of February, at 173 East Twenty-fifth street, inflicted a wound in the breast of Dooley, six inches deep, which producod death. The empannelling of the jury occupied the most of the day. Dr. Finnell testified that the instrament with which the wound was inflicted penetrated the heart and produced death. The case will be resumed on Monday. The annual examination of the West Point Mili- tary Academy is rapidly drawing to a close, and will probably be concluded on Monday. Yesterday afternoon Major Thomas C. McCreery, of Kentucky, a member of the Board of Visiters, addressed the graduating class, at their request,on the occasion of their leaving the institution. The chapel was crowded with the cadets and a number of ladies and gentlemen visiting the Point, and for nearly an hour the audience was entertained with one of the wit- tiest, most patriotic and most eloquent addresses ever delivered on a similar occasion. Mr. McCreery handled the live questions of the day wit! if and concladed with an impressive far * graduating class. He was frequently int... vehement demonstrations of applause. The wills of George Dickenson and Mary Bowles, both of Old Saybrook, Conn., were severally admit- ted to probate in the Surrogate’s office yesterday. A good deal of property is mentioned in both wills, bat it is all bequeathed to the immediate relatives of the deceased. The Royal Gazette of Tork's Island, dated on the 22d alt., confirms ina great measure the news from ®t. Domingo which was published in the Heaatp yesterday morning. The Gazette says,in ite sum- mary of News from St. Thomas, the town of Sa- mana haw fallem into the hands of the revolutionists, and the blockading force which had been for some weeks before Porto Plata had suddenly disappeared. Provisions at Porto Plata are very scarce. Flour was at $20 per barrel, and other articles in propor- tion. Our correspondent at Brideport, Barbadoes, writ- ing on 26th ult, saye:—Our imports have been con- siderably increased by additional arrivals from the United States, Corn meal has advanced a little, owing to some speculation in the article, but prices remain without variatioh. Codfish, mackerel and salmon are wanted; none in first hands and no good in market. Hlerrings are plentiful. Plantation sup- plies are abundant and dull. Prodoce has been in- quired foron a limited scale for the United States, at 4c. per Ib. Molasses steady at lic. per gallon. Ram 20e. per gallon in borid. Bank bills #475 « #485 per £100 on London. Bills on New York at 10 days, 14 per cent premium. Three large ships (the Rambler, 1,119 tons, Ellen Foster, 975, and Florida, 690,) from Peru for the United States, with guano, have been in Carlisle Bay for two weeks, repairing and provision- ing, and sailed last week. Copious showers of rain fall daily, creatly to the relief and benefit of the island, and to all on it. The health of the port is very good. We have files from Turk’s Island. to the 20th uit. ‘The Royal Gasette of that day says—28,856 bushels of salt have been exported since our last. The weather continues fine, and the rakings are going on here and at Salt Cay. Price 9c. to 100. ‘The cotton market was without animation yesterday. The sales wore confined to about 4006 600 bales, closing tamely at 110. for middling uplands. Fiour washeavy, especially for the inferior and lower grades, while a fair ‘amount of sales were made for home use, includieg come lots for export. Prime qualities of wheat were scarce, and little was offering. The sales were to a modorate ex- tent, ab prices given in another columa. Corn was sold ai 66 i¢0.[a O80. for New Orieans mixed, sound Wester do at 680. a 100., and yellow do. at 76c.0 760. The supply of- fering was light. Pork wasdull, with sales of mes at $17 10.0 $17 16, andof prime at $14. Sugers ‘weady, but lees active. The sales embraced about 300 a 400 hhds and 240 boxes, at rates gtven in another pace. Coffee was quiet, while prices were unchanged. The advance aoticed in freights was sustained, and although leas active, ex- Gagements wore made to a fair extont. ‘The Thirty: fifth Congress—Close of the First Seaston—State of the Treasury and the Country. According to their existing arrangement, the two houses of Congress will close the present eersion on Monday; and according to the reso- lution of the President, as indicated in his an nual message of December, all bills of any great importance, and requiring any careful over- hauling, if not passed to-day will run the hazard of a failure to receive the official en- doreement of James Buchanan. The warning to this effect, given by the President in the outeet, was a very wise one; for heretofore the bulk of the corrupt epeoulators’ and log rollers’ lobby jobs of spoils and plunder have been pushed through amid the hurry, rush, confusion and dissipations of the lastnight of the session. In this instance the President's notification that he should require at least two days for the con- sideration of the closing jobs of the session, hts not been without its good effecta, The regular appropriation bills have not all been kept back to berushed through in the confused scramble and jumblings of the last night; but have been taken up, one at a time, considered and passed, in a much more business like way. We appre- hend, therefore, that to the railroad land grab- bers, patent jobbers, fat contract and bogus claim and Galphin indemnity men, the present session will not have yielded a very bountiful harvest. On the other hand, the preseure of the late financial revulsion upon the treasury, and the administrative legacies left to Mr. Buchanan by his predecessors, Pierce and Fillmore, have re- sulted in the most extraordinary conjuncture of financial necessities and embarrassments in the history of the government. First, the effect of the late revulsion has been a dead loss to the treasury of from twenty-five to thirty millions @ year of its receipts from the custome; second- ly, the enormous area covered by our Territo- ries, old and new, and the extraordinary ex- penses they have entailed upon the government, on account of the Kansas-Nebraska bills, disor- derly border ruffians, Mormon Governors and Mormon rebels, Indians, Indian wars, army movements, new forts, roads, explorations, &c., &c., have swelled the expenditures, especially of the War Department, up to the standard of a very respectable frontier war footing. Thus, with this heavy depletion of the resources of the trea- sury on the one hand, and its heavily increased ordinary and extraordinary expenditures on the other, and including the moneys paid out and the debts incurred, on the second year of Mr. Buchanan's administration they will probably reach, all told, the magnificent figure of one hundred millions of dollars. In this view we think it very for- tunate that before the whole contem- plated war schedule, interior and exte- rior, was passed, the good news should have arrived—first, of the absolute capitulation of the Mormons to the supreme federal autho- rity; and secondly, that our apprehended war with England has turned out only a flash in the pan—“only this, and nothing more.” The re- sults will probably be, from the indications of yesterday’s proceedings in both houses, a mate- rial reduction of some of the extraordinary projected war appropriations, and a postpone- ment or reduotion of the pending loan bill of fifteen millions, Peace or waa, hewever, and re- gardless of the emhausted condition, fer the present, of Mr. @ebb’s stroag boxes, the right arm of our national defemee, the navy, should be promptly steongthened by the addition there- to of at least the number of steamers proposed by the bill of the Senate. The peace of Europe hangs upon the life of one man; and in this view, should any general convulsion be precipi- tated upon Europe, we can hardly escape being involved in it. Nor do we think that the administration is in that condition of financial exhaustion, in a do- mestic political view, which admits of no hope. We have two years yet to the campaign of 1860. In the interval the whole face of our existing financial affairs may be changed. The country is full of specie, full of resources, full of enter- prise, and the shock which would require a generation in other countries to repair, may be repaired in this great, fresh, vigorous and prosperous country within even the margin of two years. Thus by 1860 the’ treasury may be refilled from our abounding imports, and such an impetus given to every breveh of business and trade’ as to satisfy the meres of the people that Mr. Buchanan’s ad- , , ministration, after all, has been the salvation of the country. A violent snow storm in No- vember may be followed by a mild winter; and the spectable of an exhausted treasury, and a bill of expenditures and liabilities during a general peace of one hundred millions a year in 1858, may be followed in 1860 by a large sur- plus of receipts, and a new epoch of general prosperity. Let the opposition financial poli- ticians, therefore, be not over sanguine. With- in two years the whole schedule of our financial affairs, public and private, may be changed. As for this present Congress, it has proved itself the most disorganized, demoralized, fac- tious and intractable with which any adminis- tration has had to deal, and we therefore think it a matter of congratulation that it has tarned out 80 well in regard to the practical business of the government. Tue Lovey tw Wasnineron.—What is the lobby doing in Washington? Who is Matteson’s banker? How many votes can the lobby muster tn these days?

Tue New Puase mm ovr Rewarions wira Eno ianv.—We learo from Washington that the advices from London in regard to the British outrages are of the most friendly character, aud that the relations of the two countries will be put at once upon » feoting of cordial co-opera tion in all the American questions, To do thir it is stated that a complete chang is expected to be made in both missions, a Lord Napier will probably be superseded by some friend of the present Cabinet; while Mr. Datlas, who has been found eympathizing with Lord Palmerston, it is supposed will be re- called. If this is the case we trust Mr. Bachan- an will not heeitate to appoint a new Minister to England at an early day, and eettle, the policy of the two countries upon all the que» tions of Spanish America on the footing ii should occupy. Our geographical and politica! porition toward the republics sonth of us is one that should give us the Jead in international policy toward them; and as we do not seek for any control there that shall exclade other na tions from the benefits of peaceful trade and transit, England will find her greatest benefit in uniting with us. Those countries have al) an impulse toward a republican form of govern- ment, and any attempt to re-establish there old absolutist forms can only result in continued strife and anarchy. Palmerston bas now been fairly caught in his intrigues, and it is to be hoped that the people of England will open their eyes to the utter selfishness of his policy. He would have plunged the two countries into a war merely tu cover his other designs and keep himself in of- fice. The whole scheme was planned to work upon the American people in such a way as to force upon us the onus of the declaration of war, and was ovly upeet by the double failure of Palmerston: first failing to hold on to power, and then failing to get back there. The ques- tion of the right of search, however, should be settled now for all time. The claim on the part of England to exercise a belligerent right upon the sea in a time of peace, can never be admitted with honor or safety by this country, and never will be admitted. The sacrifice of this point by England involves no sacrifice of honor or of the right of self-protection; and any ministry that settles it in this way will place the amicable relations of the two coun- tries upon a permanent footing, and prevent any cabal, however stromag, from involving them in such imminent risk as that to which they have lately been subjected. Courresies or Conaress.—A row in Con- gress has now become part of the stereotyped daily news. The last chronicled was the affray between Wileon of Massachusetts and Gwin of California. Gwin insinuated that Wilson was a “demagogue;”’ Wilson retorted by hinting that Gwin was a “ thiet;’ Gwin clesed the contro- versy by denominating Wilson a ‘coward and a liar.” It is not stated that the Senate was much disturbed by this amiable colloquy. Indeed, of late, similar dialogues have been frequent enough to accustom the Senate to the use of harsh terms. Only a day or two since, Jeff. Davis and Benjamin of Louisiana came within an ace of a duel, the words “insolence” and “impertinence” having been fully applied by the one to the other. A short time before, Sena- tors Green and Cameron gave each other the lie; and Clay of Alabama has had two or three most abusive passages with his colleagues. It is the same story in the House. Harris and Hughes gave each other the lie; Grow knocks Keitt down; and at least half a dozen members repeatedly bandy the grossest imputations and the foulest epithets without hesitation. This seems to be the received style of Congressional debate. One remark thereon must be made. Here- tofore it has been usual to regard with some contempt and loathing the shoulder hitters of Tammany, the bullies ef the Five Points and the ruffians of the primary meetings; this can hardly be justified hereafter. For it is now manifest that between these ruffians and oar representatives in the two houses of Congress the slight difference which exists is in favor of the former. The rowdies and the Senators and Representatives affect the same style of discus- sion, and employ the same epithets and like oaths; but, whereas the former are always ready to take and to give satisfaction where harsh words have passed, the Congressmen and Senators seem always able to wriggle out of their quarrels by some Pickwickian method. There is no danger of their ever coming to a fight. Let people then be careful how they abuse the rowdies. They deserve more con- sideration than many national representatives in both houses of Congress. Govervor Kivo axp His Commisstonens.— We notice that several of the newspapers are urging Governor King to remove from office Mr. Nye, one of the Metropolitan Police Com- missioners, who, as is understood, is about to receive from the members of the police force, through the medium of a female relative, a house and lot in reward for his services. This isavery proper move on the part of these newspapers. Gen. Nye certainly ought to be removed from office, and that without delay. So also should Mr. Flagg, whose incompetence and imbecility have become notorious. Both should be removed by the Governor. But we doubt whether Governor King will do anything of the kind. The removal of incom- petent or improper officials is not at all in his line. He isa man of large and general hu- manity, with a heart so large that there is room in it for murderers, thieves, robbers, burglars, and the authors of rapes and all manner of ras- calities, The greater the crime, and the nearer the hour of retribation, the more are Governor King’s bowels of compassion moved for the cul- prit. There is no pest inthe country which cannot command his humane regard, if only the courts sentence him to be punished according to his deserts. There is very little prospect that such a man will visit Flagg and Nye with the sentence due to their deserts. There need be no hope enter- tained of their removal; we must bear with them, and with all other ills, so long as John A. King is Governor. Tur Work or THe Srssion—We publish to- day a list of the bills and resolations passed by both houses of Congress at the present ses sion, as well as the list passed by one house or the other; and we submit the whole schedule for the general information of our readera We presume that a goodly number of the bills and resolutions which require the concurrence of the one house or the other, will yet be passed, and that a good many will fall through. Some good things will fail; but many bad things will be strangled. Within a day or two we shall know the best and the worst, and will be relieved for @ season of the turbulent factions of this ungovernable Congress, Ma. Sxcretary Copp snp Tas CusTow House Accusations or Mx. Sreraaw BD. Du- Lave —Mr. Stephen D, Dillaye, late « subor- dinate officeholder attached to the New Yerk Custom Houée, having been turned adrift by Mr Secretary Cobb, has issued his bill of in- dictmen' and specifications against that offer, by way of a little wholesome democratic re- venge. The charges, too, of the indignant and disgusted Didlaye, in the premises, are of 60 giave a character that they ought not to be overlooked by Mr. Cobb and the administration, true or false, Mr. Dillaye charges, first, that his difficulty vegan with Hon, Daniel E. Sickles, and grew out of the squabbles of the late rival Wood and anti-Wood factions for the control of Tammany Hall; that Dillaye Baving opposed and defeated the Tammany programme of Sickles, the latter declared that he would defeat Dillaye at Washington. Secondly, Mr. Dillaye charges that Mr. Secretary Cobb pro- ceeded to get up a case against him, and that in due time, in a round-about way, Dillaye dis- covered that his official head had fallen under the guillotine. He confronted Mr. Cobb, de- manded an explanation, and left him with the impression that Cobb bed acted under the ad- vice of Sickles, and that both were actuated in the matter by enmity to Collector Schell. Dil- Jaye esys to the Secretary, “You offered, in cage I would resign, to add your official certi- ficate to the fact that I had fully disproved every charge, at the same time saying if I did not resign you would remove me, and decide that the charges were not disproved.” This is # serious accusation against a Cabinet officer, and should not be permitted to pass unanswered by the party accused. But why this vindictive persecution of Mr. Dilluye by Mr. Cobb? Dillaye says that it is because the Secretary is “afraid of the shadows of Daniel S. Dickinson and John B. Floyd;” that in this connection Mr. Cobb has treated Collector Schell with a “false hearted base- pees; and that the Secretary “secretly, through Haskin and Sickles, instigated the va- rious committees of investigation in relation to Fort Snelling and Willett’s Point, that he might cast a shadow on the fair fame of the Secretary of War,” and “drive Augustus Schell from the Collectorship, which you were ambitious enough to bestow upon Butterworth.” Now, considering the facta which have come to light of the numerous democratic factions, factious leaders and intrigues concerning Tam- many Hall and the Custom House here; consider- ing the defection of Douglas, the defection of For- ney, and the numerous evidences of rebellion that have been furnished by the restless and intriguing democratic politicians of the present Congress, all levelled at the integrity of the ad- ministration and the harmony of the party, it is due to Mr. Cobb, the administration, and all concerned, that these charges of false dealing uttered by Mr. Dillaye should be silenced. We cannot believe that this underground party combination against Secretary Floyd and Col- lector Schell extends to the Secretary of the Treasury; but the accusations of Mr. Dillaye, considering all the recent demoralizations of the party and various leaders of the party, c not safely be disregarded by the high and re- sponrible officer most concerned. In the meantime, as Mr. Postmaster Fowler, quite as deeply concerned in the fair business operation of Willett’s Point as Collector Schell, has been confirmed by the Senate almost unani- mously, wby ehould Mr. Schell be held any longer in suspense? There are, we believe, no other charges against him than those in rela- tion to Willett’s Point. He is a competent offi- cer. He is a good democrat. The President appointed him because of his satisfactory quali- fications and vouchers in both these respects. Why, them, should Mr. Postmaster Fowler be exonerated in a matter in which the Collector is to be held responsible? The removal of Judge Bronson completely split the party in this State into two factions, and the remnants, still in @ loose and disordered condition, can hardly sustain a repetition of that experiment. In any event, the next Presidential election will turn upon broader issues than the spoils of the New York Custom House. We trust that the Senate, therefore, will confirm Mr. Schell upon his general merite, leaving the disappointed cliques here to fight out their local spoils and squabbles among themselves. Is not this the policy of Mr. Buchanan? Tae Case or Mz. Dwiont Aoary.—We have received several communications relating to the charges against Mr. Dwight, which we decline to publish; some of them urging argument in his defence, and others finding fault with our pre- vious comments on the case. We stated the case fairly as it stood when the examination closed, giving both sides, as laid down by counsel, and expressing no opinion on the matter, except that we feared the crime, if it be one, alleged against Mr. Dwight was a commonplace, every day oc- currence in our courts, without being made the subject of criminal prosecution. We have no desire to interfere between Mr. Dwight and his prosecutor, or to prejudge the case. We leave it in the hands of the proper legal authorities. There is no doubt that for some years past the conduct of many of our financiers and specula- tors has not been of a very honest, moral, or creditable character. The country has been dishonored and disgraced by heavy defalca- tions; and though we have no desire to inter- fere with the personal rights of individuals; we have aright, and it is our duty, to comment upon and expose the mass of frauds which have characterized the management of public corpo- rations, railroads, banking institutions, and so forth, and which have brought ruin on thou- sands of people, and disgrace on the country. Kansas Ourraces.—Some of the newspapers are still keeping up a hue and cry about awful outrages in Kansas, If they really want mate- rial of the outrageous kind they should look nearer home. We have more outrages in the Sixth ward in » dey than in Kansas in a month. The difference is that a Sixth ward outrage is forgotten the next day, while by skilful man- agement a political editor makes a Kansas out- rage last a month or two. Nor Mvcu to Boast Or.—Mr. Clingman has been addressing his constituents of North Caro- lina. He congratulates them on the victories gained by the South during the late Kansas agi- tation. He tells them that they have gained the abrogation of the Missouri Compromise, and re- covered the recognition of the principle that the people of a Territory may have a pro-slavery constitution if they see fit. Now, considering that during this agitation no less than three free States ave been admitted into the Union, we do not think Mr, Clingman has much to boast of. Itis the North who has the oyster, while the South has the shells. Se a ‘Taw Force or Presvpice.—Some mer Are 96 proud of their ignorance as others are of tveir acquirements. Some will also ignore a fact because the source whence it is derived is au- palatable. We can only pity such miserable affectation, for its only effect is to render the persons guilty of it ridiculous. Their folly can neither retard the progress of truth, nor depre- ciate the value of the authority which it is eought to slight. A curious iHustration of the pertness of igno- rance, which has suggested these remarks, is to be found in an episode which occurred in the House of Representatives on Wednesday night. In a discussion between Mr. Letcher, a lead- ing member of the Committee of Ways and Meang, and Mr. Clay, of the Committee of Foreign Affairs, the latter on being twitted on the lateness of his information on a point con- nected with the British outrages, and which had been anticipated by a statement in the HenaLp twenty-four hours previously, replied that he never read that paper. Were Mr. Clay an or- dinary member of the House, and not vested with any especial functions, this declaration would simply provoke a smile. As a member, however, of the Committee of Foreign Affaira, the boldness with which he avows that he pur- poeely declines availing himself of the earliest and moet authentic source of information on so important « subject is surprising in a man who is known to be endowed largely with the organ of self-esteem. In indulging his prejudices Mr. Clay unaccountably forgot what was due to his own character as a legislator. The House of course smiled at the naiveness of the de- claration, whilst Mr. Letcher contented himself with recommending the gentleman from Ken- tucky to include amongst his reading a journal that had established some character for enter- prise. Tae Sonpay Newssoys Agrration.—A no- merourly signed remonstrance against the action of the Mayor and Police Commissioners in sup- pressing the cries of the newsboys on Sunday was presented to the Police Commissioners on Thursday, and will be found in our report of their proceedings. The remonstrants object to the crusade against the poor newsboys mainly as an evil precedent, as the foreshadowing of a Puri- tan tyranny, and an attack on religious liberty, They insist that if street cries are to be put down as a nuisance at all, all cries ought to be put down, and on all days; and they are about right there. The cries of the newsboys may be very offensive to some ultra pious people; but the ringing of church bells, though soothing to the ears of many of that class, are not less a nuisance to others; and if one nuisance is to be abated, they should be all abated upon princi- ple. The voice of the newsboy may not be very musical, but it is melody compared to the unearthly howlings of the milkmen, which are calculated not only to disturb the repose of a pious mind, but to frighten an invalid almost to death. If the newsboys are put down, then down with the milkmen, too. Let all have fair play. We see no reason why this Sabbatarian fervor with which some people are now exer- cised, should be visited on the heads ofthe poor newsboys alone; let all street cries, or none, be prevented. This movement looks like an enter- ing wedge in the introduction of a code of Puritanical laws, interfering with the rights of our citizens, which must prove as obnoxious as they will be ineffective. This is not the kind of reform the city needs. If the police authorities will only guarantee the public ample protection from rowdies and thieves, they will not trouble them to arrest the newsboys in their legitimate occupation. Reorganization oF THR Biack Ruervsiican Party.—A warm discussion is at present being carried on amongst the newspapers and politi- cians of this State about the reorganization of parties, or, rather, about the reorganisation of the black republican party. The Chevalier Webb, ¢he Hon. Massa Greeley, the Rev. Thur- low Weed, and the whole host of politicians, lit- tle villains and stock gamblers, are all laboring at this business of reorganization. They seem, however, in their discussions to overlook the only fitting manner in which the proposed re- organization can be carried out. Matteson’s and Greeley’s system is decidedly the best. Matteson would like to see a hundred thousand dollars deposited in the hands of Greeley to meet contingencies; but the Chevalier Webb ought to have a chance of paying his house ex- penses out of the fund, whilst a reservation of at least five thousand dollars should be made for Thurlow Weed’s literary services, This is the only way to reorganize the black republican party for the benefit of all these worthies, Posto AmvsxmawTs, Boum: axp tw Haaren Tarx — Tho thoatres and other places of amusement are suffering severely from the sudden appearance of a heated term, which, from the quiek transition, seems even more heated than It really is.
