London, England, 1842-10-14 00:00:00

(From the New Orleans Bulletin.)

A certain Mr. Joseph Wells has offered to loan
the Mexican Government the sum of 7,000,000 dols.,
on condition that he be permitted to import from
London a certain quantity of English cotton goods.
The proposition has been laid before Congress, but
has not been acted on. The domestic manu4tcturers
were protesting loudly against the project.
A prolific vein of gold, extending nearly 20 miles,
has been discovered near the Bay of Francisco, in
Upper. California.

(From the Crescent City.)
The Mexican manufacturers are clamouring loudly
for protection duties on coarse cotton and woollen
cloths.

The new Mexican tariff goes into operation on the
Ist of November. The duties are reduced about one
half. 'We understand it will be published in pamphlet
form in a few days.

The plan of a new Constitution has not yet been
reported to the Mexican Congress, by the Committee
appointed to frame it. •
A conducta of specie was to have left Mexico for
Vera Cruz on the '2sth of August.
The first division of Mexican troops (1,300) des-
tined for the subjugation of Yucatan, sailtd for Vera
Cruz about the 10th of August.
MORE INCENDIARISM.—Between 11 and 12 o'clock
last night the Reading Railroad bridge over Mill
Creek, together with the Montgomery County bridge,
both crossing Mill Creek, immediately adjoining each
other, and about two miles from Manayunk—the last-
named of wood, and covered—was fired by an incen-
diary, and the flames soon extended to the railroad
bridge ; both structures were entirely destroyed. The
Company's bridge was guarded, and one of the watch-
men succeeded in arresting the incendiary, but was
unable to secure him from escaping. The bridge was
200 feet long, and its destruction will materially affect
the convenience and expedition of travellers for a few
days.
