CARDINAL WISEMAN has been giving to the public an elaborate statement of the progress of Romanism in Great Britain. He says there are three epochs in its history: 1. That of the Catholic Emancipation in 1829; 2. That of the extension, of the Roman Catholic Episcopate in England in 1840; 3. That of the complete establishment, in 1850, of the present English Roman Catholic Hierarchy, as consisting of twelve bishops and one archbishop. From 1831 to 1841 the increase of the population of Great Britain was fourteen per cent.; in the same time the number of priests increased twenty-five per cent. During the ten following years the population increased thirteen per cent.; the number of priests, forty-five per cent. From 1851 to 1861 the population increased twelve per cent.; the number of priests increased sixty-seven per cent. The establishment of convents and houses of religious men has been equal in proportion.
