Arrival of a prominent Marylander.
Col. Geo. P. Kane, more familiarly known as Marshal Kane, of Baltimore, arrived in this city yesterday, and is the guest of Mr. Wm. A. Wright, of the American Hotel.--Col. K. has been an exile from Baltimore since June last, the most of his time since that date having been spent in Canada.
For his loyalty and devotion to the South he was arrested in the month of June, 1861, and imprisoned for eighteen months in the Northern bastiles of McHenry, Lafayette, and Warren.
In December, 1862, he was released from Fort Warren, and allowed to return to his home, only, it would seem, to be rearrested on an indictment for treason.
In May last this indictment was quashed by the Government, with the view of reindicting him with more distinct specifications.--Finding that he was to have on peace in his down trodden city, he left it and made his way to Canada.
Some time during the month of January, in company with three Confederate officers who had escape
A Scarcity cotton Threatened.
Mr. McHenry, author of the "Cotton Trade," is stated by the London Index to have written a letter to the Standard, in which he says that the total stock of cotton in Europe and the Federal States on 1st January, 1864, amounted to but 2,000,000 of bales, of 400 pounds weight each.
Of this stock the Federal States possess 400,000 bales, leaving but 1,600,000 for Europe.--Of these 2,000,000 bales, six-sevenths are of a quality so inferior as to be useless for a

The cotton Trade in England.
We alluded a short time ago to the letter of Mr. McHenry upon this subject, inferring from what was therein set down, that a famine in the article was imminent.
We resume the subject this morning.
In the year 1861 the cotton of all sorts imported amounted to within a fraction of 1,900,000,000 lbs., or about 4,750,000 bales of 400 pounds each.
Of this quantity nearly nine- tenths came from the Southern States of America, so large was the proportion which it was found necessary to work into the inferior staples from other countries.
For this cotton £36,000,000 sterling were paid.
It was imported in 1860, the year of largest importation.
When manufactured and sold this cotton brought £56,000,000 sterling.
The year 1862 was the year of least importation.
That year but 525,000,000 lbs. from all countries were imported.
It, nevertheless, cost £35,000,000 sterling, and when worked up, sold for £80,000,000.
When we reflect upon the immense popu
