ECCLESIASTICAL GOVERNMENT AND DIVISIONS.

Yorkshire forms part of the Province of York, which includes also the Bishoprics of Carlisle, Chester, Durham, Liverpool, Manchester, Newcastle, Ripon, Sodor and Man, and Wakefield. The Bishops of these Sees, under the presidency of the Archbishop of York, Primate of England, constitute the Upper House of Convocation; and the Lower House consists of 76 members, viz., six Deans of the above Dioceses, 21 Archdeacons, seven Proctors for the Chapters, and 41 Proctors for the clergy of Archdeaconries.
