CONSUMPTION OF WINE.

The following statement from the London Netv Price
Current ;bows the increase of the consumption of wine
in the year 1825. The striking difference, which amounts
in the four great ports of England to upwards of 10,0uo
tuns, must be mainly attributed to the reduction of the
duty. As the increase amounts (excluding the Cape wines,
in the tax on which there is no alteration) to nearly two-
thirds upon the previous consumption, the revenue can in
the present year have scarcely suffered by the reduction of
the rate of duty, except from the repayment required upon
stocks in hand. As far as French wines are concerned,
upon which the former duty was most heavy, the retluv-
tion of the rate has materially increased the whole return,
by not much less than .50 per cent. :
Home consumption is 'funs of 252 Gallons—
