The Canadian Rebellion. London, April JO. The latest Canadian news shows that Kiel's rebellion in the north-west is assuming proportions much beyond original anticipations. The white settlers in the north-west provinces are formulating grievances, while almost the entire Indian population beyond Winnipeg show signs of revolt. The Dominion Government has a serious contest before it. The theatre of the present insurrection is five hundred miles further from Ottawa than that which Lord Wolseley quelled in 1870. Troops are now on their way, and will be concentrated at Guappelle, where General Middleton is awaiting them. A partial advance has already been made to Touchwood Hills. Louie, Prince Albert, Humboldt, Battleford, and Fort McLeodare beleaguered by Indians near Fort McLeod, which is near the American border. All the Indians are on the warpath. Several tribes are marauding about the country, killing cattle, stealing the horses, and threatening the settlers' lives. The insurgent Indians are being joined by Indians from the United States, though the authorities at Montana are co-operating with the Canadian Government, and doing their best to prevent the Indians or Fenions from United States territory crossing the border into Canada. It is estimated that net less than 4,000 Indians are on the warpath. Communications on the Pacific railway are threatened at several points to the westward of Guappelle. Kiel has a large force at Clarks Crossing, beyond Humboldt, where the road crosses the Saskatchewau River.

The Fanlo on the Stook Exobange. London, April 10. The news of the battle on the Afghan frontier produced a panic on 'Change, which was only paralleled by the outbreak of the Franco-German war. All stocks fell except American and Canadian railways, which an Anglo-Rusaian war would benefit. Russian loans fell 3 per cent., and Consols 2& per cent. Next to Russian stock tho heaviest fall was in Egyptian Uniteds, which declined 5| per cent., preference 7 per cent.; and the Turkish loan of 1871, 6i per cent. Italian and Spanish stocks also fell, and . Hungarian issues were all lower. Suez Canal declined 3fc per cent. Railways also fell. On the provincial 'Changes the receipt of the news caused great commotion, and at Manchester and Liverpool led to an almost complete stoppage of business, but the markets recovered latter. It is stated by the "Daily News" that the aggregate values of securities affected fell within a few hours so much as to represent a depreciation of £100,000,000.
