MEXICAN DIsrINGUEs IN New YoRK.-Mexico
is becoming quite an important region for the
people of the United States, who are kept
tricks Of the governmental and revolutionary
parties Of our republican neighbor. The HERALD
would fall short of its duties and its prestige if
it neglected to record the interesting piece Of
intelligence that. for the last day or two. our
metropolis has been honored by the sojourn of
eminently distinguished personages, whose
names are /" familiar as household words in
connection with Mexico. First, we have Capt.
Jonas p. Levy, who has acquired great celeb
rity, and is striving to acquire still greater
material benefit, as the protector Of new and
improved route from the shores Of the Atlantic
to the shores Of the Pacific. The Mexican Con-
gress have, however, exhibited contemplate
obliquity Of vision in reporting against the
adoption of Capt. Levy's plans and specifca-
tons Then we have also the famous DR..
Gardiner immortalized as the claimant of
mines invaluable as those of Golconda, situate
somewhere in the unexplored region OF the
Mexican sie,r0s, in the hunt for which COM
mission have been amusing and enriching them
selves for some time past. Mr.. Hargous, the
protector Of another shortest and best route
over the isthmus, and also claimant for losses
sustained in the late war, forms another of the
party Of our distinguished guests. 1t is proba-
bic that We shall not have the honor Of enter
tanning this eminent trio longer than day or
two, after which we suppose they will present
themselves at the seat Of the federal govern
ment. To use the Oriental style Of salutation,
