riS1' an" unanimously. brought forward the motion for certain financial returns, of which he had giveu notice. In asking for these various accounts, Mr. Hemes explained that the only one which Government had intimated their intention to refuse was the estimate of the income expected from the consolidated fund for the current year, which would end on the 5th of January, 1H41. The Government, he said, had experienced much forbearance from the opposition, but instead of rewarding that forbearance by liberal communication, had for several years systematically evaded the making of their financial statement till July or August.

The Conservatives had felt, during the difficulties of the monied and commercial interests, a great repugnance; foi agitate financial questions but- since the avowals lately made by Lord Melbourne of the miserable state of the country's finance, and his admission of a deficiency could be carried no further. Lord John Russell, too, had acknowledged that the necessities of the country would require increased burdeDS. The House, therefore, had now arrived at the point at which it must boldly face its most painful duty. The present state of affairs would require the accounts now desired, even were there no precedent for the production of them. For each of the three last years there had been a deficiency of revenue to meet expenditure.

In 1837 that deficiency had been 726,000. in 183(1 it had been in 1039 it had been 1,512,0002. altogether 2,678,000. and after such failures, what must be the public apprehension for the now current year The falling off in the present year of another and of 1,200,000. or 1,400,000.

more on the Post Office revenue, would bring the total deficieney since 1837 to near 6,000,0000. sterling. Surely this was not a state of things in which to refrain yet further, and give the Chancellor of the Exchequer his own time. It was with the full knowledge of this position of affairs that the Government had taken the dangerous step of abandoning the Post Office revenue. They assigned no excuse but the difficulty of resisting the general wish.

In such a resistance, however, had they honestlyresolved on it, they were perfectly aware that they would have been supported by the whole body of Conservatives. What made their conduct still worse was that they themselves thought ill of the scheme and the late Chancellor of the Exchequer, to salve his conscience, had resorted to the strange expedient of taking a pledge from the House that it would make good the revenue which might be lost. The country had now actually lost the revenue, and all it had got instead was the barren pledge. He trusted that some new source of income was to bo proposed for nothing could be so disgraceful as to go on in time of peace with a succession of loans. Kepeatedly had Ministers been warned upon this subject by Mr.

Goulburn against the barter.of revenue for popularity by Sir Robert Peel upon the wide practical difference between continuing an old tax and imposing a new one. Until the last three years every Government had kept up an annual surplus for the reduction of the debt. He concluded by saying that the evil was not the want of means or of public'spirit in the country on the contrary, he was persuaded that the country was as able and willing as ever to make great exertions for objects of national interest or honour but tiie evil was in the mismanagement of Ministers. vwuutu men orolte up.

In tho evening an illumination, with a bonfire and a display of fire-works, took place.

High Wycombe A subscription was entered into, and the amount collected was distributed by a Committee on Monday morning, to upwards of 2670 poor persons. In the evening a public ainner took place in the Lion Hotel, which was most respectably attended, the Worshipful the Mayor in the Chair. We need not say that the health of our beloved Queen and her illustrious Consort, which were first drank separately and then united, were received with the greatest enthusiasm. The dinner, which was excellent (as dinners at the Lion always are), was set off with Mr. Wcstbrook's usual good style and taste, and the pleasure of the evening was much enhanced by some eloquent speeches and many excellent songs.

Mr. Hunt (of Cresses and White Hart-street), Messrs. Lane and Kdnionds, Mr. Joseph Hulls, Mr. Crook, Mr.

T. Treacher, and many others of our townsmen and neighbours, gave their workmen good dinners that they might make merry together the shops were closed, and business suspended our merry pea! of bells rang bounily, and there were also many private parties given in honour of the eventful and happy day. The Trustees of the Charities benevolently presented to each of the aged inmates of their almshouses the sum of in order that they might have the means of enjoying themselves on this day of universal rejoicing. The teachers and friends of the Wcsleyan, Crendon Lane, and Eben-ezer Chapels Sunday Schools drank tea together, in friendly union, in the Wcsleyan Sunday School Room, in honour of the happy day. The Guardians of the Wycombe Union gave the inmates of their Union Workhouses a good substantial dinner of roast beef, plum pudding, on the day of the Queen's Marriage the ale at Bledlow Workhouse was the gift of Robert Wheeler, F.pq.

WITNEY, Februahy 13. Married, on Tuesday last, by the Rev. C.

K. Rogers, Esq. of Bath, to Miss Elizabeth Sheppard, grand-daughter of Mr. Masters, of the Staple Hall Hotel. Thb Queen's Marriaoz.

This auspicious and much looked-for event was celebrated hero with that loyalty and good feeling for which our town is so proverbial. As soon as it was ascertained on whicli day the event would take place, a public subscription was entered into for the purpose of giving all the old people, above 60 years of age, a good dinner. The views of the Committee met with the full approbation of the inhabitants, who subscribed most liberally, and the money collected amounted to a very considerable sum, which enabled the managers to issue more tickets than was at first intended. Upwards of 500 sat down to an excellent dinner, provided for them in the National School Room; and, if we may judge from appearances, a more happy and joyous assemblage met not within her Majesty's dominions the scene was also much enlivened by the attendance of our Amateur Brass Band, which played some beautiful and appropriate airs, one of which, Prince Albert's WalU, composed purposely for the occasion by our young townsman, Mr. T.

A. Dolley, was highly and deservedly applauded. Her Majesty's health was drank most cordially and the cheers which emanated from this aged assemblage, if not so loud as some, were at least as cordial and heartfelt. The and Troop of the Oxfordshire Yeomanry Cavalry also met to celebrate the event, at the Town Hall. The troop, with their band in full uniform, marched up the town, playing that appropriate and lively air, Haste to the Wedding," and having given three cheers to her Majesty and her august Consort, and which were responded to by the assembled hundreds, they marched to the Town Hall to partake of an excellent dinner, provided by the liberality of the Right Hon.

the Colonel and Officers of the Troops. The Chair was ably filled by Sergeant-Major Sheppard during the evening several appropriate toasts were drank, and the band played a selection of airs in a masterly style, which elicited universal admiration. Masters Wells (two brothers) played several duetts on the cornopeans, which very much delighted the company. The dinner, which was excellent, was provided by Messrs. Steptoo and Bowermnn.

A ball, upon an extensive scale, was got up at the Blanket Hall in the evening. The invitations were general, and the attendance most respectable. Tho Hall was appropriately decorated within and illuminated without with devices in variegated lamps. Upwards of 40 couples joined in tho lively dance, which was kept up with much spirit till long after daylight. The supper and arrangements were provided and superintended by Mr.

James Gillett, in his usual and most masterly style. Through the liberality of Mr. John Early, of Newland, soup was distributed to 600 or 700 poor people of Coggs and the poor of Wituey, upwards of 1200, were also regaled with soup by Mr. the Staple Hall Hotel. The Feoffees of the Witney Charities also distributed articles of clothing to 420 poor people, so that upon the whole all had rera to rejoice, and will long remember this happy, event.

We are pleased to hear that it is the intention of tho Board of Guardians of this Union to petition Parliament to exempt workhouses erected in pursuance of the orders of the Poor Law Commissioners, from the payment of parochial and Parliamentary taxes, and wo trust the same will be done throughout the country.

THAME, February 12. The Royai. Wedding. This important event was not allowed to pass away unnoticed in this loyal town, all appearing anxious to display their attachment to Queeu Victoria and Prince Albert, A very handsome subscription was got up to furnish the poor with the means of celebrating the event at their own houses and upwards of 1600 lbs. of mutton, 1400 lbs.

of bread, and W. in cash, were given away on this occasion. The Earl of Abingdon, with his usual liberality, sent 20 guineas, and the Baroness Wenman 5. These donations, with 40 guineas raised by the inhabitants, enabled all classes to enjoy the day and the Committee, we are happy to say, had no cause to regret their attention to the poor, as all seemed highly grateful for their kindness. The utmost decorum prevailed during the day.

The children belonging to the National and British Schools were regaled with cake and wine and a party, consisting of about 30 of the leading inhabitants, dined at the Greyhound Inn H. Lupton, Ksq, took the chair, and the utmost good feeling prevailed throughout this festive meeting. In the evening a ball took place at the Spread Eagle, which was numerously attended. Last Thursday week the lovers of the chase had the pleasure of following Baron Rothschild's famous pack of stag hounds, and, considering the unfavourable state of the morning, the field was well attended. A vast number of ladies were present to witness the start, which took place on Mr.

Badcock's farm, at the back of the town. The Baron, desirous that the fair visitors should have a good sight of the noble stag, ordered it to be uncarted very near the spot where they were stationed. From the gallant manner in which the animal tossed his head when lie obtained his freedom, much excellent sport was anticipated it was at first thought he would lead for the park, but he made towards Tetsworth, where his pursuers were left, whilst he ran through Moreton to Shabbington and lie got into the flooded meadows between that place and Thame, where, after some trouble, he was secured and brought back to Thame. Owing to the floods, many of the riders had to take a cold bath-, for few of them cleared the brook whicli crossed their path. On the whole, the sport was good.

BANBURY, February 13. Died, on the 4th inst. Mr. George Gardner, of Wemcott, Warwickshire, aged 27, son of Mr. George Gardner, of Epwell, in this county.

We are pleased to inform our readers tliat the pulpifc cushion, communion cloth, and many of the prayer books, stolen from Banbury Church, about three weeks since, have been discovered and restored to their former places. It is supposed the sacrilegious burglars were hard pressed, and hid the property in a stone-pit, near Steeple Aston, where it was discovered on Saturday last.

Shortly after eeveu oclock dancing commenced to the enlivening strains of Elston's Leamington band, nearly the whole of the 400 who were present joining in the first dance. were most unremitting in their exertions to promote the enjoyment of the numerous party, in which they were most eminently successful. Dancing was kept up with great spirit till after five o'clock.

On Tuesday the schools were again allowed for the purpose of giving a treat to the children attending the national and all the other schools in Banbury. About 800 children were plentifully regaled with tea and cake, and were presented with a medal, commemorative of the event. The Rev. J. R.

Rushton delivered a suitable address to the children in each school. The annual ball at the Red Lion Hotel took place -on Tuesday last, and, notwithstanding the ball to celebrate the Royal marriage, at the National Schools, the evening before, was well attended. About 100 assembled, and dancing commenced about half-past eight, and was kept up with great spirit till past six o'clock in the morning, The arrangements reflected the greatest credit on the taste of Mr. Fowler. The ball room was very elegantiy the floor chalked with emblematical devices suitable to the occasion.

The following mottos, Long live Victoria aud Albert," May her reign be prosperous," bearing a very prominent part. About one o'clock the party retired to the supper room, where a most excellent repast was laid out with great taste, consisting of every delicacy of the season.

Exeter College This college would have been the foremost in brightness and effect, had not the high winds precluded the possibility of the lamps burning, for there was an abundance of Stars, Crowns, V.

Jesus College This building was more fortunately situated, and exhibited a very gorgeous appearance, displaying the Royal Initials, a Crown, Stars, and a series of festoons, all in rich lamps.

A. of a most majestic size, and quite dazzled the eye with its gorgeousness and splendour. The illumination was general throughout the city, and every one appeared desirous to testify his loyalty in the most expressive way. The majority of the houses were lighted with candles, and some looked remarkably well. The gas devices were the most brilliant, but the variegated lamps had by.

far the most superb and imposing appearance, for the brightness of the light was so exquisitely softened by the varied and delicate hues of the lamps. We have endeavoured to do justice to those who were at the most expense to display their loyalty, but we fear that in so general an illumination, and where every house was so well lighted up, that we may have omitted to mention some cases. An unusual quantity of fire-works was let off, some of which, particularly the rockets, were very fine. There were occasional disturbances in the street, and a renewal of the gown and town rows, but we heard of nothing serious, though we understand a few heads were broken in tumour o( the occasion. Among the laughable adventures of the night was one which has created many a smile one of our young citizens displaved his disinterestedness and patriotism by joining the ranks of the gown but, through being mistaken by the party he assisted, or his services being declined, he was favoured with a severe drubbing by the very men lie had taken such pains to uphold.

The night, bow-ever, passed off as tranquilly as could be expected. Among the various parishes where the poor were entertained none was distinguished for more spirit than St. Clement's, for a veryood subscription was got up, which, together with a liberal contribution from James Morrell, Esq. sen. enabled the Churchwardens and Overseers to entertain upwards of 460 poor persons with meat and bread.

The children of the parochial school, amounting to about 170, partook of tea, cake, and wine, in the afternoon, and in the evening Mr. J. Parker sent barrels of beer to the school, whicli was served out to the poor to drink health and long life to the Royal pair." Though there were rejoicing in all parts of the city, there was no public entertainment or ball on the occasion. A public ball, to be given by the tradesmen, was in progress, and appeared to go on very favourably and satisfactory but this was suddenly abandoned, and one of a more ex-elusive character was set on foi.t, which took place on Wednesday evening at the Masonic Lodge, but which was limited to the shop-ocracy and elite of the city. Fears were entertained that disturbances between the gown and town parties would be renewed, but the effective steps which were taken by the University and City authorities prevented a repetition of such ourstreetshaveassumed their wonted peaceable appearance.

We ought almost to apologise to our patrons for once again reverting to the confidence, or no confidence, question; but we were so much struck with some choice sentences that appeared in the Morning Chronicle, which seem to us to bear upon that matter, that we perforce recur to the subject.

Now in taking notice of something that fell from Lord John Russell, while speaking on the privilege matter, the Chronicle talks sensibly, for once in the way, and as follows One of the worst features of the present Ministry is the want of fixed purpose, which paralyzes their supporters, who never know how far they can rely on them. Deliberation is very necessary but there is a time for deliberation, and a time for action with wise men deliberation precedes action but with Ministers actiorl too often precedes deliberation and Lord John Russell might easily have known, and ought to have known, all the reasons for hesitating before the question came on first, as well as now and by shaping his course accordingly he would not have exposed the House and Honorable Members to the ridicule we had almost said contempt which must follow this lame and impotent conclusion, after so much vapouring. We express ourselves strongly on this subject, because we are keenly alive to the injury this course must do Ministers. Irresolution is what is'least forgiven in men in high stations. No man who appears to be always wavering himself can possibly inspire others with confidence.

Notwithstanding all this, we cannot say that this vmusual and grand event was honored so well as it might have been, or in a way so grateful as our Monarch's late Coronation, when all the poor were fed and their hearts made happy, through the general liberality of the neighbourhood. CHIPPING-NORTON, Feb. 13. The marriage day of our beloved Queen was celebrated in this town and neighbourhood in various ways, accordine to the pe and carried in front of the band, the party assembled proceeded at once the spot chosen to receive them.

Here, every one present from the child of seven years old to the aged man of seventy, each in turn took the spade to help digging the holes in which the trees were about to be planted. As soon as the first tree was fixed in the ground, and formally named The Queen's Oak, the toast of Health, long life, and happiness to Queen Victoria" was drank with three times three most loyal and hearty cheers, the band playing the National Anthem, while all joined in full chorus, singing God save the Queen." On the second tree being planted, and duly named Prince Albert's Oak, the toast was Prince Albert," and 11 Long may they live, and happy may" they be, So merrily lot us drink their health all round tho oak tree." This toast having gone round with three times three, and one, and two, and three cheers more, the band struck up the well-known oid English naval air, in whicli all joined most heartily, W. H.

Job Seeley, boot and shoe parts 01 tne mnguom to ao nonour to the occasion fully evidenced the interest which it excited in the minds of the people. In many towns the shops were closed, and business entirely suspended for the day; while, in other places, dinners, balls, and illuminations were the modes adopted to testify the joy which this important event gave rise to. In this city, the reverence for old customs, and the old-fashioned mode of celebrating national events, induced the inhabitants to adopt a general illumination, and as soon as the nuptial day was announced, preparations were made on all sides for the joyous occasion. The day was ushered in with violent storms of rain, which seemed likely to prevail, to the mortification of those who had taken steps to illuminate at considerable expense. Fortunately, however, about ten o'clock, the threatening clouds cleared off, and a more cheering and brightening prospect was developed.

Advantage was taken of this, and not a moment was lost in getting the various devices fixed, and in all parts of Oxford the greatest activity and bustle prevailed. Merry peals were rung at intervals during the day, and the joy and gladness perceptible on every countenance testified how general and sincere were the wishes for long life and happiness to Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. In some of the parishes the poor were supplied at their houses with meat, for which the parishioners had very liberally entered into subscriptions, so that the humble roof of the cottager was gladdened on an event interesting alike to rich and poor. In our Workhouse, too, it gave us much pleasure to hear that the Guardians had not been unmindful of those beneath their care, for an ex-iceHent dinner of roast beef, plum pudding, and ale, was furnished fe every inmate of the house, while the children we're eacb presented with an orange in addition. The national anthem was sung in a pleasing style by the children, who also gave evidence of their gratitude and loyalty by repeated cheers for Oneon Victoria and Prince Albert.

Calm and unruffl'd, as some mountain lake, That starry orbs their spotless mirror make, The sacred vows of wife prepar'd to take Humbly she comes to pledge her solemn vow, And kneel to Him to whom e'en kings must bow. While at ber side the lov'd of earlier years, The favor'd chosen for her hand, appears A maiden's pure unsullied heart to wear A Queen's proud honours and her ills to share.

That from the Throne its temp'ring pow'r be felt, And mercy soothe where judgment stern is dealt. And may this union be the dawning day Of happy years, 'neath sweet affection's sway Dear to Old England may it ever be, And prove the source of future Majesty, Britons, rejoice your hearts and voices give.

The above-mentioiied piece of ground, formerly used as a place of deposit for timber, stones, and other refuse, is now prepared arid laid out in the shape of the letters V. to be enclosed and planted with trees and shrubs, and henceforward to be called The Victoria and Albert Gardens." For the reception of the celebrated oak, The Queen's Oak," a mount was raised; and at the hour of the marriage ceremony (as near as may be) the tree was planted, many of the townspeople assisting to place around it the soil that should sustain its roots, and all wishing it might thrive and remain uninjured When a hundred years are gone." A band of music attended to enliven the scene. Immediately after this an immense number of buns were served out to the poorer class, together with a glass of wine each, to drink the health of the illustrious couple at the head of the realm.

Yesterday se'nnight an inquest was held on the body of J. Currer, Esq. of Balliol college, whose melancholy death we noticed in last week's paper, at Sandford, before G.

V. Cox, Ksq. M.A Coroner and Esquire Bedel, and a double jury, one composed of inhabitants of Sandford, the other by order of the Vice Chancellor, impannelled from the University. Prom the evidence it appeared that the deceased was returning from Sandford in a skiff, and, inadvertently rowing too near to the lasher, was hurried against the post, and, his boat breaking to pieces by the blow, he was shot down the fall with the rapidity of lightning. He rose in the lasher pool, sunk and rose again, and then was seen no more.

The most unceasing endeavours to save their friend were made by some gentlemen (Messrs. Cave, Cholmely, and Macdougal), who hurried to the spot, and who, at the imminent risk of their lives, plunged several times to assist the drowning man. Their efforts, however, were unavailing, for the body was not found till half an hour afterwards, when the usual remedies were applied by Mr. Wingficld, surgeon, of Oxford, but in vain, for the vital spark had fled. The Jury returned a verdict of accidentally drowned.

On Wednesday the remains of this unfortunate young man were interred in Magdalen parish churchyard. The corpse was carried by servants belonging to Balliol college, and attended by the Rev. the Master and every member of the society and a more affecting scene has seldom been witnessed.
