Bishop Fitzpntrick.The succession of the Right Rev. John Bernard Fitzpatrick as Roman Catholic Bishop of Boston, furnishes, says a Boston paper, a suitable occasion for the statement of a few general facts in relation to his history. 80 rapidly did he rise in the estimation of those who knew tho wants of the Catholic Church in New England, that, in 1843, at the council of Georgetown, he was nominated as a titular Bishop and coadjutor to Bishop Fenwick. The nomination was confirmed by the late Pope, Gregory 16th, and on the 28th of March, 1844, at Georgetown, he was consecrated by Bishop Fenwick, and immediately upon his return to Boston entered upon his duties as coadjutor Bishop of Boston. In his commission provision was made that, on the death of Bishop Fenwick, he should become his successor forthwith, and by virtue of his commission, all the functions and powers previously vested in the late bishop, devolved upon him, and he is now in the full and legal exercise of them.
