NEWS AND OTHER MArTNMs,

Governor Seym0ur's letter TO District Attorney
Hall in relation to the seizure OF the World and
Journal Of Commerce says: ait is charged that
these acts of violence were done without due
legal process and without sanction Of State or
national laws. If this DO true, the Offenders
must be punished. Ii the owners Of the above
named journals have violated State or national
laws, they must be proceeded against and pun
ished by those laws. Any action against them
outside Of legal proceedings is crlmlual." The
Governor argues the matter at some length, aui
concludes thus ;-"ln making your inquiries nhd
10 prosecuting the parties implicated, you will
call upon the Sheriff of the county and the heads
oil the Police Department for any needed o,cJ
aud assistance. The failure to give this by any
official under my control will be deemed suih-
cient cause for his removal"

The CONCERT OF THE HANDEL. AND HAYDN
Society, at the Hanover Street Church on
Tuesday evening next, 3lst inst, will un-
doubtedly be the best affair of the kind that
has ever taken place in our city. 1t has
been our privilege to have been present at
some Of the rehearsals, and we can fully
pledge ourselves that all who attend will be
richly repaid. The programme is made up
of selections from the best masters, and
under the able direction of Mr.. Lichtep-
stein, sustained by Professors Grobe, Site
gler and Fullmer in the instrumental parts
and by some of our best singers, male and
female, in the vocal parts, with chorus of
probably not less than seyenty-fve voices, we
have no fears but that the pieces selected will
be performed in a style that has never been
equalled ia this community. Add to these
attractions the fact that the entire proceeds
are to be devoted to the Sanitary Fair, to
be ultimately employed in the relieving of
the sutierings of our gallant soldiers, and is
there anything wanting to insure an audience
only limited by the capacity of the church
to hold it,

HIsroRIcAL Society OF DELAwARr-We
would beg leave to remind the public rene.
rally Of the meeting to be held at the hall Of
the Wilmington Institute, next Tuesdav
afternoon at o'clock and to be continued
in the evening at 8 o'clock, for the purpose
of forming an Historical Society for the
State Of Delaware. There will be present a
delegation from the Historical Society of
Pennsylvania, consisting of some of tbe
most prominent citizens of Philadelphia.
In addition to addresses from these gentle.
men, Others will be delivered by our own
citizens interested in this movement. For
a long time such Society as this has been
greatly needed in this State. For want
of it much historical matter of great mo-
ment has been lost or destroyed, and wa
sincerely hope and believe that this present
effort may prove in every way successful,
especially so since our neighbOrs in Phila-
delphia have taken such pains to forward
the movement. A general invitation ia
given to all well disposed persons through
out the State to attend, including the ladies'
and we trust a large number of them will
duly respond.

VIsIToR TO WEST PoNT.-The President
has appointed Rev. Geo. +. Wiswell of this
city one of the Board of Examiners to West
Point, The Board meets on the first of
June. This is an excellent appointment,
and will receive the approval of the loya
men Of Delaware. From the breaking out
OF the rebellion Mr.. Wiswell has labored
zsalously in behalf of the government, and
done much to correct false Impressions that
existed in the community on the all,impor-
tant subject of the great causes which
have produced this gigantic rebellion. He
has permitted no occasion to pass, when on
portunity offered, TO deal blow at the
hydra-headed monster of secession, either in
the pulpit or the ordinary walks of life.
