FURTHER NEWS By THE CANADA.
The Canada, Capt. Harrison, which arrived at
her wharf at six O'Clock on Wednesday afternoon,
June llth brings three days later news from Liver
pool than received by the Atlantic at New
York but her intelligence has been generally anti
cipated by telegraph. Baring's Circular OF the
3lst ul. says Of business in general:
"We have had rather more activity in our pro
ing is beginning to< HrSRced. which the iineness
of the weather has no doubt mainly contributed 70,
though the present low prices OF most articles
would, under ordinary circumstances amply JUS
tify increased demand Cotton is rather dearer.
Breadstufs barely maintained"
The London Shipping Gazette, OF the evening OF
May 81, does not change its antcipations with re-
gard TO the harvest and the prospects OF the grain
trade, from those presented a week before Unless
unforeseen circumstances should arise, the grain
market could not alter for several weeks 10 come,
and former prices must continue The prospect
for an average harvest was still good.
The Liverpool cotton market had advanced

The Legislative Assembly in its sitting of the
9th ultmo, adopted article OF the bill for the re-
stricon of universal suffrage. This is the clause
which declares that none shall have the right Of
voting at elections with few special exceptons)
who have not been domiciled for three years in the
same canton. II is one of the most important OF the
occupied the house for several days; but the Assem-
bly, contrived TO consider the clause in all it's bear
ings, to consider and reject all amendments pro-
posed by the opposition, and TO vote the clause pre-
cisely it was originally proposed by the govern
mentall in the short space of four hours Nay,
more; slight was the difference of opinion ON the
subject, and So Insignificant the minority whichop-
posed the clause, that il was not thought worth
while to go to regular division; and this clause,
which will deprive four millions, and probably
more, OF the electors Of France, (nearly half the
constituency of the right OF voting, was passed
par assis ct lece. Equivalent TO vote by hand
The measure is one of the utmost importance-it
affects the interests of millions; when first an
nounced it was expected to produce instruction
and bloodshed. IL is an actual as well as virtual
violation of the constitution. 1t is drawn up by
parties avowedly the enemies to the republic, and
bent upon its distinctions and still that measure Is
hurried over without examination or discussion,
because the majority has resolved that they shall
have the BILL the whole bill, and nothing but the
bill
1t is very generally believed that the President of
the republic does not by any means approve OF the
general policy at present followed by the Govern
ment, and especially of the electoral law, but that
he simply acquesces in it, because it is the work of
the Assembly, which has forced it upon him, and
to which he leaves the responsibility. II is said,
however, that as soon as the electoral law shall
have been passed. it is the intention of the ority
with the assistance of the commission OF seventeen,
and the OF the present cabinet to bring
forward series OF coercive measures. The flrst TO
be brough forward is bill for the further restriction
of the liberty of the press, and others will follow for
the regulation ofthe National Guards, sc.
Forty seven Socialists were arrested in Paris on
Wednesday night. They were members Of a secret
society. large quantity OF ammunition was
found in their possession. The apprchensions of n
rising of the people in Paris have died away,
mainly, perhaps. owing to the fact that General
Changarnicr makes it we'll known that he is pretty
well prepared, with 10000 men at his back. The
democratic journals, generally, counsel patience
and moderation. The Legitimists and Orleanists

cordial union between the two branches OF the
house of Bourbon.

don, or the treaty settled by Mr.. Wysc at Athens.
The Paris correspondent Of the London Times, of
Friday, says: "a rumor has just reached me which,
fit be true, is of importance Is stated that the
Emperor ofRussia, after having received dispatches
announcing the solution of the question between
the Greek and English governments, decided on at
once recalling his ambassador from London. II is
added that the bearer went out of his way to com
