CUBA.—THE HURRICANE OF THE 11TH OCT.—
'pie arrivals by the last West India steamer enable us to
give details of the damage done in the interior of the island.
It will be recollected that though there was much damage
to the shipping at the Havannah, there had been little, if
any loss of life. Tho interior does not appear to have
escaped so well ; fifty-six slaves had been taken from the
ruins on one estate, sued the coffee crop had suffered seriously
throughout almost the whole irland.
Exreacr ARON A CORILL.PONDEAS is Till breritum.—The burr:-
sane was felt at this place (Estate Santa Theresa) fifteen leagues from
the ILisana, destroying coffee-true, plantations, sugar canes, and
doing great injury to the works. In the harbour of Ilautono wars
injured the steam vessels Cuban() and Siren; two sehoonem sunk, but
fortunately no lives lost, although many houses were thrown down.
In the harbour of Maria were lost eight vessels loading with produce.
The news from the interior is equally distressing. The plantain trees
are destroyed and a great part of the other provisions.
FR MA AS:VULVA COLUUDWANDV,I".—ENION EATTATE, JCILISDICTION or
tar INX4.—You cannot form an Idea of the extent of the damage dose
here by the hurricane. The estate Is only a heap of ruins, every
coffee or plantation tree is destroyed. and the works materially ia-
jured. It appears by a letter from Matanzas, that the effect of the
hurricane was also severely felt; many houses were unroofed or
otherwise injured. The St. Jotuis riser overflowing its tanks, carried
away aeverul wharfs and property to a large amount; twelve large
vessels went ashore, besides twenty-one eosating vermels and a
steamer. It appears that the canes dal not suffer eo much as the coffee
trees; berries being nearly ripe were destroyed, and what will be
roved will be injured and of a bail quality. The poor people in the in-
terior being deprived of their crop of corn and plantains, are a prey
to great sufferings. The hurricane WAS hardly felt at Cardenas and
Pipran. The wharf of St. Francisco is covered with fragments of
seeds, hales of tobacco, and other goods. The atone wharf is a beep
of ruins; many of the semen' moored to the mole of Cabellena base
received injuries. Very few houses are left, and the injury on the
estates in the neighbourhood of Quivican is considerable. The coffee
crop may be considered as lost. The berries are destroyed, and the
trees materially injured. The Alexandria estate, half a league from
Enion estate, Jurisdiction de Guinea, destroyed; RIVAL% dead slaves
were taken from the runts, and more remain. Nearly a hundred
persons base lost their lives.
BOLIVIA,—From Sucre, the capital, we have
dates to the beginning of August. President Ballivian had
issued a decree for establishing • mining bank at La Paz.
where the ruiners might carry the sliver and gold they should
extract and obtain from the ore for sale, the bank, like the
long established one at Potosi, being under the obligation
to purchase at a certain fixed rate, and to pay the duties on
the same to the government. The bars of silver duly
stamped, and of the proper title, must then be despatched to
Potosi to the mint for corning. The motives fur the esta-
blishment of this bank at La Paz are stated in the decree to
be, " the discovery of rich mines of silver in the canton of
Coroeero," &c.
THE ECUADOR—The dates from Guayaquil are
to the Ist of October. There had been an attempt at revo-
lution in that city. A. part of the garrison mutinied, headed
by two captains of artillery, and one Moceneio Betancourt,
captain of invalids, who was the ringleader. They surprised
and made prisoners of the commandants of their respective
corps, but through the activity of the governor and the com-
mander of the district the attempt at revolution was put
down. The officers compromised were, by agreement, sent
out of the country, and went to Paita. Betancourt, who
had taken flight, was apprehended, and sentenced to death
by a cAtneil of war, but the sentence was not to be executed
until confirmed by the supreme court of justice at Quito.
The particular objects of this insurrection were not known.
Some of the insurgents shouted vivas in favour of General
Elizalde, others of General Ayers*, and one or other, here
and there (ono que oleo)), of General Flores.
MEXICO.—A letter from Mexico states that Mr,
Bankhead has received, by the last steamer, n note from his
government to offer, for the last time, his mediation.
The morning journals of yesterday corroborate what
was stated in our City article; namely, that the detention
by Santa Anna of the Conducta, with the two millions of
dollars, was only temporary.

The GREAT WESTERN is now due at Liverpool, but
owing to the adverse winds she is not expected there before
to-morrow or Sunday. The Halifax mail steamer may even
anticipate her. She left Boston on the first.
