Why does Mr Bennet believe Mr Gardiner gave Wickham money to marry Lydia?
It is clear that Wickham is a fortune hunter, a man who is out to marry a wealthy woman for her money. In fact Wickham needs money badly just to cover his debts. Lydia has no money, but Wickham is marrying her. Clearly someone is providing Wickham with money, and Mr. Gardiner is the logical person to do so. At that time, the Napoleonic Wars were under way. A quarter to a third of all the young men in England were going off to war, and a large number of them would never return. Women from good families could not get jobs except as governesses. If they did not have money, they had to marry well or become dependant or impoverished. There was a lot of competition for husbands. Wickham had nearly got away with marrying Georgiana Darcy and getting her 30,000 pounds. He had also nearly married Mary King with her 10,000 pounds. If he kept his act up, running away from his debts, he was very likely to find a wife with a similar amount of money, so a marriage to Lydia required such an amount. Mr. Bennet knew that Mr. Gardiner had a family interest in seeing Lydia married and further scandal prevented. He also knew that Mr. Gardiner had a lot of money. He had no idea that Darcy would have any reason to provide for Lydia.

What arrangements are made concerning Lydia?
Darcy makes Wickham agree to marry Lydia. He repays a large chunk of Wickham's debts but arranges for Mr. Bennett to pay the debts to the shopkeepers in Meryton. Darcy also pays someone money so that Wickham can get out of the volunteer militia regiment he had joined that put him in contact with the Bennett sisters. He then enters the regular army and is stationed in the north of England, away from Hertfordshire. Finally, because Wickham has no annual income and no money Lydia to inherit should he die before her, Mr. Bennett has to agree that Lydia will still get the 1/5 of Mr. Bennett's estate after his death. Mr. Bennett is also asked to provide her an annual personal income of 100 pounds/year (a tiny amount, really) for her living expenses.
