IMMENSE QUANTITIES OF WINE are landed et
Guernsey from Portugal, end there bottled and imported
into this country at Southampton, and placed in bond in the
docks there. Great genii:Piet of wine are also bottled is
Southampton, exported to Go , and reimported and
bonded at the former place. The reason of this is that wine
cannot be bottled in bond before the duty is paid unless it
Ibe tor exportation. By tee above contrivances wine can be
bottled, which is netes.ary to bring it to perection, and the
11 duty is not paid on it until it is wanted for consumption.
The bottled wine is bonde : in slate bins in underground
' stores in the Southanapfoe docks. The practice of import-
ing end reimporting wine in bottles from Guernsey has been
going on lo: tome considerable time, and there is an im-
mense stock of it at 13 iuthampton. It is remarkable the
little waste the above practices cause. A. whole cargo is
shipped, performs a voyage, end is landed and stored with
the breakage only of three or four bottles.

A young Russian woman was (or some days seen walking
about the Russian trenches, and sometimes at night also,
with a lantern. It was thought, as she seas tall, and of
majestic appearance, that she was a man in disguise, and the
general-in•chief ordered that she should be caretully
watched. At six o'clock in the morning of the 28. h she
again appeared opposite our lines, and examined them with '
great attention; she carried a note book and pencil in her
band, and seemed to inscribe in it the result of her
observations. Finding, after a while, that *ha was
