Temesvár is the seat of the Roman Catholic bishop of Csanád and of a Greek bishop, as also of several Government departments of great importance, and of one of the fifteen army corps of the Austrian-Hungarian army. The majority of the inhabitants follow industrial and commercial pursuits, and carry on a brisk trade in grain, flour, spirits, fruits, flax, and hemp with the neighbouring districts and with Roumania and Servia, by means of the Arad-Temesvár and the Austrian-Hungarian State Railways, as well as by the Béga Canal and by road.
