New YORK Nov. 10. - The \. Y. Herald $
Havana special says the late tempest at Por-
TO Rico was more severe than the two terri
ble gales which visited this Inflated Island
preyious TO 1859. All the towns have been
terribly desolaIed. One thousand houses
here have been laid in ruins 5000 have been
severely damaged entire streets have been
demolished, and the road way entirely hid
den by the ruins. No news whatever has
been received regarding the effect of this
storm in the central portion of the Island
where, on the Savannah, numerous herds
are pastured; but elsewhere cattle have
been Killed and fields swept entirely bare.
The loss is incalculable. The merchants
demand that corn, provisions, &c, shall
be entered duty free. Every living thing,
man or animal, upon the. Island of Tortola
persisted.
