Sealing in Bering Sea.

Ottawa, June 4.—The dispatch from England announcing the Intention of the Imperial authorities to introduce a bill to restrict sealing In Bering Sea, Is understood to refer to the renewal of the imperial confirming act closing the season for sealing as decided by the tribunal of Paris. It is said not to Involve new principles. Until official paper regarding the seizure of the sealing schooner Shelby in the North Pacific have been received no formal protest will be forwarded to the United States. It is believed the seizure was made in ignorance of the fact that it is no longer an offense to carry unsealed arms.
