DEPARTURE OF THE ARABIA.—LIVERPOOL, .SATUR-
DAY.—The British and North American Royal Mail
steam-ship Arabia, Captain C. H. E. Judkins, sailed
from the Mersey this afternoon, with the usual mails for
the United States and the British colonies in North
America. 110 passengers, and a large and valuable
cargo of merchandise on fieight. Her mails were carried
out in charge of Lieutenant J. Grant Raymond, R.N.,
Admiralty agent. The Arabia since her last trip has
undergone several alterations, it being found that the
floats of the paddle-wheels, which were 36 inches deep,
lifted too much water, and thereby proportionably re-
duced her speed. To obviate this, floats of 20 inches in
depth have been substituted to the extent of half of the
whole number, and the remainder will be altered before
the next trip. The screw-steamer Osmanli, Captain
Corbell (one of the Fox line of packets to Australia), also
sailed from the Mersey, for Melbourne and Port Philip.
She carried out 25 passengers and about 5,0001. in
specie. Her mails are very large, the letters alone
amounting to nearly 100,000.
EXECUTION OF MOORE FOR THE MURDER AT ASH-
FLATS.—On Saturday morning, at eight o'clock, Charles
Moore underwent the extreme sentence of the law in
front of Stafford County Prison, for the late atrocious
double murder of the old couple named Blackburn,
whose bodies were discovered shockingly mutilated and
partially burned in their beds. It is sL.tisfactory to
know that that the unhappy culprit, in reply to the so-
licitations of the Revs. E. Huddleston and P. O'Sullivan,
Roman Catholic priests, who have been untiring in their
attendance on him since his conviction has made an ample
confession of his guilt, entirely exonerating the younger
Blackburn, Walsh, who was conviCoti with him, and
other partie3 upon whom suspicion rested, f om any pai d-
cipation in the crime. On Wednesday a respite for Walsh,
who was convicted with Moore, was received from the
Home-office the result of the strenuous exec Lions of the.
Hon. and Rev. A. C. Talbot, one of the visiting justices
of the jail.
THE GOLD MARKET._The gold of Victoria is finer in
quality than that of New South Wales, and sells for
half-a-crown an ounce more in the Sydney market. In
Melbourne the price has gradually risen to 70s. an ounce,
at which it will probably remain as long as the present
wasteful system of exporting bullion and importing specie
continues, and the banks continue to be able to exact an
arbitrary rate of exchange—that price being about the
maximum which affords a remunerating profit to the ex-
porter. The competition in the gold-broking trade is,
of course, very great ; and on the outskirts of the busi-
ness hang some few dealers not distinguished for strict
integrity in their transactions. A case has just been
brought to light, disclosing a system of 'fraud by the in-
termixture of alloyed gold with genuine samples, and it
is surmised that this species of fraud has been exten-
sively practised without having been detected. Someof
the gold sent to England will probably be found, there-
fore, much below the standard orthe genuine metal, and
thus the character of the Victoria gold may be depre-
ciated unjustly. To prevent frauds of this kind it has
been proposed to compel every gold-broker to take out
a licence from the Government ; but it is obvious that
no system can exclude all dishonest persons.—Melbourne
