A Severe Hurricane.

A CYCLONE of remarkable severity passed over the Central American states during October. The town of Managua, in Nicaragua, was inundated; four hundred houses were blown down, and damaged to the amount of $2,000,000. In Blewfield, on the Mosquito coast, three hundred houses were destroyed, and the coffee crops over an immense district were utterly ruined. Twenty lives were lost, and several vessels on Lake Nicaragua were sunk by the disaster. The total damage is estimated at an amount of over five million dollars.
