Tlio overpoworing necessities of labor, and tlic iuexornble forco of facts, nro w orking remnrkablo changes in llio theories of British economists and statesmen. There nro fixed natural laws which exuberant ? prosperity inny tamper with fur a time, but tiiey never fail to vindicate themselves, and exact penalties from those who violate tliein. A few years ago, under a hallucination wherein a fanatical philanthropy was blended with false views of interest; England ~ emancipated her slaves. She calculated a great deal on the productiveness of free labor, und indulged in the vision of freo communities arising in tli? West Indies lo compete with the slave labor in tho United' States, in the production of sugar and cotton for tho consumption of tho world; and providing for Great Britain an independent sourco of supply of tho raw material which puts ber vast manufacturing industry into motion. Tho effect has been to ruin the colonies, impoverish and degrade the whites, and reduce tho blacks, the ostensible objects of carc ami sympathies, to deeper poverty and lower degradation. Tho products of the islands have fallen off alarmingly: and England, confessing the waste of hundreds of millions, directly, on a ruinous experiment, and the total sinking of a capital of productiveness, which was worth millions annually, forever, is looking with alarm to the effects of the reaction upon her own future at home, and is straining her invention and tasking her resources, to find for tho indispensable wants of her own industry, n BubstitUto for the labor she deliberately destroyed at so much cost. The cotton manufactory has become her greal interest, and a deficiency in her supply of cotton her great fear. Millions of her subjects depend for work and bread on the prosperity o? her factories, and whatever arrests that, spreads misery; and whatever materially checks it, endangers her whole fabric of security and government, the stability of her institutions and her rank among nations. All England is, therefore, concerned and excited about the cotton supply, and is driven to tho necessity of meeting the labor question l?y which the supply is to bo determined. Tlio theories of African emancipation Iiavo corno into direct conflict with the most obvious immediate and practical necessities of the English people and Government, and their perplexities aro extreme. They want cheap cotton and abundance of cotton : yet it is demonstrated and all but confessed, that cotton can be only grown by slave labor, and that nil attempts to obtain it from any other source arc failures, and there arc inherent causes which go to demonstrate that they will always prove to be failures. The trials in India are given up, and the schemes now advocated with most zeal contain the principle of compulsory labor, littlo less than positive slavery as it exists in tlic slavcholding States of the Union. The Coolies from Asia are slaves fur a term. with a lifetime after of helpless dependence, for which slavery would be a happy substitute; and tho African emigration, now Bought to be extensively organized, is slavery without its responsibilities, or any of its safeguards and benefits for the slave. The labor sought is compulsory in fact, and lacks only those qualities of slavery which make it most productive to the world, and most beneficial to the laborer. But Coolio or African labor is the demand and the necessity for England; and in these schemes and the imporioua noceasities which dictates them, she practically condems the whole series of emancipation measures with which she has desolated the West Indias and heaped up to herself sacrifices, sufferings and late repentance. She makes, too, tho important confession that free labor, such as she has delighted in her "**<?Q]3e3 to uphold, is incompetent to do tho intThf^jisnVio labor of the world.. that the m iffTrty,!. progress of cvtflized mankind, dej. 't us }t do?s'6n tropical pro ? duat; ? - ..... . -improved or cvo:. ivy|/i. of ; ^ tdlvmce by compulsory labor. ? rX rm l ' ..amorous sophism? by n ?f.> a :: lotion is sought to be denied, an ,ie and African importations mado to be consistent with emancipationist doctrin<js^~bHt to these plain conclusions, facts -Wfng us irrevocably and unvoidably : the great praeent and greater prospective want .of England is cotton ; the production of eottQp is by slavo labor, and no prospect exiftts for the finding of a substitute at any time, and certainly none which lessens tho ^pp^ndence .upon America now for her ?taTe-grown products. British economists and statesmen, merchants, manufactures nod laborers are unanimous in calling tjpon Govvnmaiit to omit no exertion, at any 4imo, for the increase of the source which cotton is to be derived, and (tie pri^fprvation against fluctuation or check Urofn Any oause, of thtt existing sources of supply. All this indicates, that, for tho immediate nod urgent want of English industry and English political stability, which is her* liinnufactures and her commerce, there shall be no interruption which it is possible to avoid, in tho supply of slave-grown cotton from America. All enterprises which look for a substitute are doubtfhl experiments where they are not ascertained failAUQP. This is the present pfaCtical urgent want iV deduction inevitable from these facts nd iQQcessions cannot long fail 4o make a lodgment in English minds, that, so long aa the products of African sTaverjfcare such jndfcjpej)sable elements of British prosperity and strength, to make war upon it, to seek A m.

In ilio discussions \vliieli have already grown out of tlio subject, in England, tlio lone lets (urnutl decidedly against tlio Kxitor Hull crow of nbolition fanatics, and tliey arc denounced ns the worst enemies of Uritish prosperity. Tlio contcst is a?sinning a new slnipo ; and, after a wliile, wc sliall look to see the struggles al>out abolitionism transferred to England, ar.d made a doincstic <piestion tlicro, about InluM* <tn<1 nvtc(an/tA I /a ??*!ll!Ana !*/> vance of the falling away of Knglish greatness sis a nation. It is n severe lesson of recantation and restoration through which England is destined to go, with what ultimate success, or to what extent, wc shall not venture to pronounco; but at all times, and with whatever issue, it is a lesson for non interference with American slavery, which is imposed upon her by a bitter experience, and an urgent :ind imperious selfinterest. AMERICAN CHAMPAGNEA writer in the " 6V<'//W says that the best brands of champagne arc manufactured in America, chiefly in New York. This is a bold assertion, and yet it is <piilo prubablo that a very large portion of the article which is represented to be of foreign origin, is the result of Yankee ingenuity. It is Iv'lUHVH lnUfi.rnr #1?of #]./* ..1 v?>v>vi) unit kiiv ^vuiiiir ' Vliiilllpagno which is manufactured at Cincinnati is equal to anj' that is produced. The writer in tlio SchIjkI says that the attempt that was maJo some years since by a manufacturer in Europe to increase tlio exhilarating qualities of his wine by impregnating it with nitrous oxide or laughing gas, was more creditable to his ingenuity than his conscience. It was frustrated by a distinguished clicniist, who detected the imposturo by analysis, after observing the wonderfully exhilarating properties of the beverage. Tlio wine, which acquired much reputation from the fact of its immediate effect, soon lost its jinstir/c, as the conservative wine drinkers in Europe were not disposed to encournge any effort not legitimate ly produced, and the ladies discovered that uncontrollable laughter was, of all other expressions, the most trying to the expressive motion of the lips. IF<; adds that at the present time, there arc in New York City, no less than thirteen establishments which manufacture chain pagno, or, in other words, convert still wines into snarl.-liiifr f.\r nn --- i a '"j I'iwvto I"" J<-'l been discovered for producing an artificial wine, which possesses the flavor and other qualities of the product of the grape. These manufacturers use for their purpose a light French, and sometimes, if sparkling Hock is to be produced, a German wine. The wine, after being prepared by precipitating all substances which would, when charged with carbonic acid, be deposited in the bottle, is subjected to a high presurc of carbonic acid, be deposited in the bottle, is subjected to a high pressure of carbonic acid by machinery, and after being well agitated in contact with the gas, is bottle a under pressure with a very ingenious machino.? The quality of tho article of course depends upon tho quality of tho wine used. Great care is taken to prevent contact with any soluble metallic substance in the apparatus used for preparing it; indeed, the wine is perfectly pure, and when properly manufactured, is not inferior in flavor or properties to the imported article, and is sold at onehalf the price. AMERICAN WINES. The American grape crop is becoming something of an institution in our country. In the Great West, especially in Ohio and Missouri, thousands of acres aro set apart for t);n <y>Uivntion of tho vine, and large quantities ' i nine arc now manufactured annually > It has been .I' tnoii tr:i!rid by numerous. ; -.!ivo grapes prodiK ; v.!" ; ...i r, 1-st i" in V i 7: f-sri well award i ! ?.*' "i'h. m'hio and fact, tnai....

Ouc acrc pro.lucos about four hunclrc?l gallons of juicc, and the wine sells at a high price, the demand for it being greater ( than the supply; This very circumstance, however, has led to its adulteration in somo eases, as liquids have been sold for the pure i native juice of the grape which were but mixtures of logwood, caramel, and a little native wine to impart its peculiar aroina to the whole. It is greatly to bo regretted that any wine manufacturer should do such a thing; but for all this, thcro arc a number of Ohio brands much prized by those who havo quaffed the juice of the grape in sunny France, on tho banks of the Rhino and Douro. The brands of Mr. Ycatinan, of Cincinnati, and sonjo others, havo-a very high reputation tn the market. The soil and tl? climate of several of our sum* are very favorable for tho cultivation of tlie grape, and we think tfiat not many years lienco tho importation of foreign wines wiH ccaso entirely.

FAILURE IN JOUltNALtSM. Tlicio is no enterprise in wlileli inon rmbark, more precarious in ils beginning limn journalism. Tlio infant newspaper is cXpose<l to nlntftsl as many diseases as tlio infant child. Tho shores of tlio restless wave of ml venture aro thickly strewn with wrecks of newspapers. The}* start from port with high hopes, with hearts elate, with a dctorminatiou to right all tho wrongs of society, and with tho broad llag of un admiral at their mast head, bearing in magnilieont letters, tho august "We." Down the stream tlicy go for awhilo merrily, discoursing about tho power of tlio press and the toils and trials of an oditoriul life, and presen tly ?k cling?tliey come up against a snag, the broad peanut tumbles overboard, the power of the press ennnot pump tho ship dry. the toils and trials of the poor editor arc all over and sinks heavier than his leaded columns, to the bottom of David Jones' locker. That which brings to an untimely end so many hopeful journals is simply tl\p want of cash, a vulgar and infernal thing, no doubt, and often a great curse, but still essential in the publication of newspapers.? There may bo talent, taet, energy and ambition, on board a journal, but there must be cash in the magazine, or it can fire nothing but blank cartridges, and will soon have to hush its batteries altogether. During j the last twenty years, upwards of two huu- ; died newspapers n* d magazines have been j started in Loudon, and after involving their i proprietors in immense losses, have passed j away into the land of oblivion. TIichc was j genius, learning and newspaper talent i enough in these papers to have graced the i London Times, but llie proprietors had not ' suflleient capital to liuhl 011 during the year of probation, until the money lliey had i sown could spring up and bear fruit. It is j said there aro no more newspapers and j magazines published in London now ilmn I there were twenty years ago, ami thai only one periodical in a hundred that is begun, is ultimately successful. Indeed, tho London Critic, says, though wc hardly know how to credit the statement, that the active newspaper press of London, with the exception of the Times, does not pay its own expenses. Wo have no such newspapers in America as the Times, though wo have many presumptuous imitators, whose attempts to rivai the independence and power of the great thunderer, bring forcibly to mind the fable of the frog endeavoring to emulate tho dimensions of the ox. The New York Times has tho same name, the New York Ilerald and cfpial circulation, the New York Courier as great arrogance, the New York TiIKn r,.,A v~.i.

Tlie five combined have not a tithe of the power, or the purse of the great Jupiter Tonans of newspaperdom. The paper and typography of the Times arc things unapproached in this country, tosny nothing of tho slatcnianship, brains and knowledge, that, from that intellectual throne, give law to the public sentiment of Great Britain. Indeed, as an exponent of public sentiment and national character, it is impossible that, in our largest cities, we should have a journal resombling the Times.

END OF A BEAUTIFUL WOMEN. The celebrated Lady Hamilton was distinguished almost nbovo overy oilier woman of her ago for personal beauty, ller accomplishments were scarcely inferior to her beauty. Sho was skilful in music and i painting, sho had exquisite taste, and her j feautures would express every emotion by turns. Tho only occasion on which Bodford of Fonthill Abbey threw open his splendid mansion to company, was when Lady Hamilton, along with Lord Nelson, visited it. All that the wealth of the princely owner could furnish was provided to irive splendor to the scene. The grounds were illuminated by lamps and torches, and the interior of the apartment was a blnze of jewelry and gold and silver. Spiced wine and confectionary in golden baskets were handed round to the company. A numerous j party was assembled and Lady Hamilton shone the envoy of them all. Attired in a l rich costume, she entered with a golden I urn >n her hands, and recited some verses which the company were far loo polite not to applaud, spoken as they were by one who had such influence over the hero of the hour. No one was there to Id! her all this was deception; that sin purely carries its own punishment with it, and that the pleasure she was pursuing was a vain shadow! Thirteen years after the banquet at Fonthill had taken place, a hulv hnvinrr * J ?J--o j meat for her dog, at a butchers stall in Calais, was 11 >us accosted by tlio butcher's wife?"Ah, madam, you seem a benevolent lady, ami up stairs there is a poor English woman who would be glad of the smallest piece of meat you are buying for your dog." Who, then, was the grateful recipient of such humble alms! Alas! it was the beautiful Lady Hamilton. After the death of Lord Nelson, descried by those who had fawned upon her in prosperity, she gradually became impoverished, and died in a wretched lodging at Calais. Her property consisted only of u few pawnbroker s duplicates. Ilcr body was put into a common deal box, without any inscription ; and over the praised of statsmcn, warriors, poets and artists, the funeral service was read by an officer of half pay. Such was the end of the beautiful Lady Hamilton.
