IV/MAN CATHOLIC lIIERA.RCHT ne ENCLAND.—AII
the documents relating to this long•debated question among
the catholic clergy in England arrived in London yesterday.
The Right Rev: Dr. Walsh, heretofore vicar &posh lic of the
midland district, is now Archbishop of Westminster; Dr.
Wiseman, who it was expected would occupy that position,
is to be Bishop of Birmingham. The title of vicar apostolic is
to be abolished, and the bishops are to be called after their
rcspective Sal—such for instance as Bishop of Northampton,
now held by Dr. Waring. Preparatory to the further increase of
the number of bishops by four more, the division of England
into a 'treater number of bishoprics is under the consideration
of his holiness. There area's° to be created one or two more
archbishoprics, and it is not improbable that cre long all
the arrangements respecting a nuncio from Rome will be
effected.
