THE NEW CATHOLIC BISHOP AUCKLAND.

Tho correspoDdeafc of the London Tablet, writing from Borne, on April 21st ultimo, gives the following item of news' in connection with the new Roman Gatho- i

l'c Disbcp for the Auckland Diocese :— " jL'iie Bishopric of AuckJiud, New Zea-l:-:i:l, sG^ie lime vac;>nt b.7 the resignation of the Ilight Key. Dr. Oroke, now Arch* bis:icp of Cashel, h&s been filled by (he a' poiutmeut fiereto of Dr. Chnreyre, a French niicsfc of the Diocese of Wellingt'jn." L'rom this it may be-assumed that the Bishop elect will at once take over ilie administration of his new charge. We uudei'st .:nd that ?nlel!igenc3 has been received fi'ora Dv MoiT.n, Bishop of Duaedi 1, intimating his nteation ot paying an early visit io Auckland, and no doubt Jishop Chareyre mil accompany him, and be duly consecrated. Father Jean Pierre Chareyre has been in New Zealand for about nine yeai3. lie was for several years connected with the Nelson district, and after some time left kelson city for ;he West-. Coast of ihe Middle Island, from which he removed not long since to .Wellington. The New Catholic Bishop of Auckland is a man of high culture, -of attractive manners, and of kindly yet firm disposition. His labors in Nelson province and on the West Coast were .marked with earnestness and self-forgetfulness, and all vrho knew him—especially those who knew him int;mately—entertained for biin both respect and affection. We believe his Holiness the Pope could not have made a better choice for Auckland. -Herald.
