From Cuba and x,caraxu..

By the arrival of the Quaker City, at New York. Thursday, we have news from Cuba to the 9th inst Accounts of the fail- ure of the sugar crop are confirmed. Tho continuous rains are fast destroying all hopes of large crnp. The pressed 7cans will not dry, from lack of fuel, and mors than one-half of the crop woald be lelt standing in the field the planters heinz news is important. Nut one of Walkers soldiers have received dime since the opening of the campaign, and there is much discontent among the troops. Two com. panies, stationed at Leon. had revolted, and
 refused to do garrison duty until all srreas. ages of back pay afa settled The excite. mpnl caused by ttis intelligence was .eve.js where visible in Grenada. Recruits how. ever continue to pour in from San Francisoos between 400 and 500 arrived during tho las, month. A fearful epidemic, resembling yellow fever, has been killing off tho army, and the recruits arriving have been reces. sary to i'll up the gaps created ny this ter. rible scourge. The mortality averaged ak or seven per day, and was confined almost exclusively to tie army. Gen. Walker had positive intelligence from Guatemala, that Gen. Carrrra had commenrch march upon Nicaragua with 200o men. It was pre- sumed that Costa Rica would concert with hims and every preparation is being nads in Grenada for active duty. The ouiposts on the Isthmus and San Juan River vets being strengthened. The reports of gold discoveries In the Chonta!es are false. At Grenada, business is completely stagnant. From San Juan, we learn that Col. Kin. ney's expedition is hopeiessly demoralized. There are about twenty men Jeff, and majority of these are prostiatsd with fever.

HoN. D. c. SAKroRD.-T'he Hartford Times pays the following just tribute to Jadge Sanford, in concluding notice of the Superior Cour. now in session in that city.
 From the commencement of the term to the present period, the Judge has kept the bar steadily al work. and will dispose of an unusually large amount of business before the final adjournment. This is the first term held in this County by Judge Sanford since his appointment, and WV take pleas ure in saying tha, the business of the Court has been conducted to the entire satisfaction of the profession and the public. We were not among the advocates of his appoint ment and his political opinions arc diatnel. ricaIly opposed to those we entertain and support We shall not therefore be sus- ?ected of par,iali,y and insimrriy when we say that we think Judge Sanford will command and enjoy in his new position the unqualified respect and confidence of the people.

A SroRr SsolLxD.-The Concord, New Hampshire Independent Democrat, explains tha. MT. Hale did not offer to shake hands with the President. at the White House, and therefore Gen Pierce did nos have the opportunity of performing il,e pump andle ceremony MT. Hale went to the White House, not by any manner of means to pay his prospects 10 the President. for he does not owe him anything of the kind. Some country cousin of MT. Hale wanted to see the man who. vetoed ,he French Sposiasion bill, signed the Nebrs.ka hill, and bom- bafded Grey,own. Mfr. Hale. misled by h,s courteous feelings, instead of dissuad- ing them from going so see what was not worth seeine, coniucted them into the presence of tue Chief, Magistrate.
