BATTLE BETWEEN A HAWK AND STOCK-DOVE.--On
Saturday last, as two young men were taking a walk through
Ashton-park, their attention was attracted at hearing a dis-
cordant screeching noise overhead, as if amidst the tops of
the trees. For some time- they were unable to discover
whence or from what the sounds proceeded ; but, upon
reaching an open space, they perceived a sparrow-hawk and
a large stock-dove, high up in the air, in deadly combat.
The battle for some time seemed doubtful ; the dove, from
its superior weight, driving off her voracious enemy when
he attempted to make a strike. At length the hawk wheeled
some twenty feet above his prey, and then struck down upon
gitrowuind with
utierri n g aim, and they both came tumbling to the
together,
within a few yards where those who wit-
nessed the novel sight were standing. One of them imme-
diately ran to the spot, secured the stock-dove, which, al-
tl\ough very much torn about the breast, was not fatally
wounded, and took it home, the hawk flying away. But,
" blind we are unto the fate of things," the poor bird, the
theme of many a-despairing, lover's song, no more went
cooing to its mourning mate ; for being left in the kitchen
of Mr. John Moser, King-street, whose son it was who had
taken it up, it was found dead irt the morning, having been
killed by a cat. In its crop were found upwards of thirty
beans perfectly whole, and a great number of vetches.—Lan-
caster Gazette.

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE,—This DAY.

(From Messrs.. R. MAKIN 6r SONS' Circular.)

Still opposed by adverse winds, the supplies of Grain into
this port, have on the whole been little augmented since
Friday, except Irish Oatmeal, of which the receipts, chiefly
by steamers, are moderate ; whilst of Flour from abroad we
have none whatever to report since this day week.
Having a tolerable number of town and country millers at
this day's market, the demand for the various descriptions of
foreign Wheat, although by no means active, was, to a
moderate extent, restricted, however, to the pressing wants
of necessitous buyers, and at very irregular prices, scarcely
averaging the currency of Tuesday last. Irish Wheats, on
the contrary, were rather dearer; but, waiting arrivals, the
sales were limited ; and in regard to English, of which little
has yet appeared, prices remain unaltered.

English and Irish Flour must be noted the turn cheaper;
and foreign, upon a dull sale, was depressed fully Is. per bar-
rel below the quotations of this day week.
Oats remained i❑ slow request at the decline of Friday ;
and Oatmeal receding further acain to-day, the best marks
of Irish new closed at 235. per 240 lbs.
Other articles of the trade continued in much the same
state as described in the preceding report.

GARDENING OPERATIONS FOR THE ENSUING

WEEK.

(From the Gardeners' Chronicle.)
KITCHEN GARDEN AND ORCHARD.

Asparagus.—The tops, being no longer of use, should be
cut off with a scythe. and the beds cleared of weeds. After
saving what seed is wanted, the tops may be preserved for
covering wall ii trees in winter, or any other useful purpose.
Cabbages.—Draw a little earth round the stems of all that
have been planted out, to prevent rough winds from loosen-
ing them at the root.
Cardoons.—Tie up and earth when they are dry.
Endive.—Continue to blanch accordingly as it is required
for use.
Oxalis Deppei.--The bulbs of this new culinery plant must
be taken up as soon as they are sufficiently ripe. (See page
68 of last year's Chronicle.)
Parsnips.—Any time when the ground is not wet, these
should be dug•_up, and stacked under cover, like Carrots, for
winter use. There is not a more slovenly practice than that
sometimes followed, of leaving these and similar roots in the
ground all winter, to be taken up in rain, frost, or snow, as
wanted.
Radishes.—Make another small sowing in a vacant frame.
Orchard.—All the small-growing fruit trees, as Gooseber-
ries, Currants, and Raspberries, may be planted with advan-
tage now, or any time in this month. Bearing trees of the
two first might be removed, if properly done, without the
loss of next year's crop. These may also be pruned when-
ever time permits, and cuttings made.
