MARRIAGE OF ONE OF THE
--CJII3BE W-A.--Y-IN-DI-ANS-.
At an early hour this morning St. Martin's Church
and its vicinity presented a gay and animated appEar-
tee, it having been known that one of the Ojibbeway
at present sojourning in this country, and who
is known by the extraordinary appellation of Not-een-a-
altit, or the Strong Wind, and who acts in the capacity
?I interpreter to the other Indians, was about to enter
into the bonds of holy matrimony with a young and
beautiful English lady. About half-past nine o'clock
9a coach drawn by four grey horses containing
1e -Indians, their wives and children; attired
in their native costume, followed by two car-
tiaPs--the first containing the bride, bridegroom,
lino bridesmaids, and.the second the father and friends
of the bride—drew up at the church, and the whole of the
prty entered the sacred edifice, which was crowded by
faashionably •dressed persons, the majority being ladies.
l'fter the solemn ceremony was performed in an impres-
stie manner by the officiating el, r_linan, the party re-
turned to their equipages, and drove off amidst' the
bbeeres of the assembled multitude. The name of the
rid was Miss Sarah Haines, the second daughter of
311,1:• ....Plaines, of George-street, Euston-square (she was
elegantly attired, and appeared to be in excellent health
Tut spirits)—that of the happy bridegroom, Alexander"
uacotte, a native of Upper Canada, but of French ex-
raction. He was attired in a blue military surtout and
Starlet trousers. He is a very handsome man, both in
Person and features. •

„ ,TuE REVENUE.--,Some time ago we stated that a
tr'iQu'iderab/e falling off would be found in the assessed
„,.3tes department, in comparison with 1842, in conse-
Mee of the income-tax. The revenue returns, just
t'll"lished, show a deficiency last year of 73,0641., com-
iaeriesd :frith the previous year. This loss does not end
tide ; by the closing of windows, and reductions in ar-
establishment (to balance against the income-
:), tradespeople have sustained serious injury. Had
,t,„e raeasures of the late Government not been " ob-
'"eted," and those Ministers continued at the helm of national affaishould not have had this loss to
trede rs, we
post "lien, the inquisitorial and oppressive income im-
, nor a de-
