The erection of lhe Vicariate of Arizo-
ma, for which the Prelates had petitioned,
is delayed for the present, probably as
premature as is also the appointment of
a Co-adjutor to the lamented Right Rev.
DIR. Baraga, Bishop of Marquette, lately
deceased. The delay in the latter case
Was caused by the desire to obtain full
in reference TO candidates re-
the sudden and dangerous i'll
ness of the venerable Bishop at the be-
ginning of the Council having made it
impossible for him to fill up the descrip-
i've and explanatory lists containing the I
'equisite information, SO wisely required
oy the Holy See in such cases
The pontiical letters, in the form of
'rlets, authorizing the conservation of the
lew Prelates, have not yet arrived, but ,
hey are promised so soon as they can be {
prepared, and we trust that the delay will c
lot be protracted. BY order of the Most t
Kew. Archbishop.
