AUSTRALIAN SUMMARY.

MELBOURNE,

February 1

The Sydney correspondent of the Mel bourne Argus professes to give the daily pro ceedings at the Intercolonial Conference. The Age and Telegraph Sydney correspon dents declare that the whole is a fabrication, and the correspondent of this agency sends us an assurance from Mr Parkes that nothing reliable of the proceedings of the Conference has appeared in print, and that the delegates are pledged to make nothing public directly or indirectly until the Conference rises. The mail question is still under discussion. A spirit of compromise prevails, and the con clusion is expected to be satisfactory to all the colonies.

A rule nisi has been granted for the seques tration of the estate of Mr Davids, Chairman of Committees in the Assembly.

Goldsborough & Co. sold 14,000 bales of ■wool in January. There was a decline in all sorts.

Ten thousand cases of meat were exported in January. The corner premises abutting on Swanstone and Bourke-streets were sold for £30,000.

A fund of £3,000 has been subscribed to send home a shipment of corn meat, frozen by Harrison's process. Eamsden's paper mills have been partly destroyed by fire. Damage, £3,000. Mr Murray, the auctioneer, has died suddenly. Flour and wheat very dull.

The Eavenswood railway station has been burnt. The building caught from a grass fire in its neighbourhood. The Education Act is working well. It was condemned by the Bishop of Kelson at a meeting last night. '

SYDNEY.

January 31. The Conference will probably rise on the 11th inst. The rumors of the Conference proceedings are founded on pure speculation, the latest of which is that Mr Vogel will carry the Australian mail free, and make Sydney the terminus if he is assisted to obtain the American and English subsidies. The proposal is in the minority. The Newcastle strike is partly over. Wool ongong coals have been sold at 34s from the vessel's side. A fire in George street destroyed ten houses. The estimated loss is £15,000, which is partly covered by insurances in various offices,

A meettxci of the Gymkana Club was held this afternoon at half-past two, at the Auck land Hotel. Hon. C. J. Taylor in the chair.

It was moved by Mr Watt, and seconded by Mr. Banks—"That the Gymkana Club be wound up." Carried unanimously. The meeting -was then called upon to form a new club. It was proposed by Mr Cosgrave, and seconded l>y Mr Thomas Morrin—"That a club be formed, to be called the ' Auckland Jockey Club.' " Carried. The Chairman thought this meeting un necessary for the formation of a new club, as it might be constituted by a certain number of gentlemen subscribing upon the faith of one another. Mr Cosgrave suggested that the terms of membership should be ten guineas entrance, and five guineas a year subscription. After some conversation the meeting was dissolved without settling the question under discussion.

RESIDENT MAGISTRATES' COURT.— This Day.

(Before Thomas Beckham, Esq., R.M.) LINDI3RMAK V. SI,ATBK.

The particulars of this case appeared in our issue of the 31st ult. The plaintiff (Rudolph Linderinan) had been lodging in defendant's house, in Hobson-street, and had incurred a small debt for board, &c. As he was obliged to go to Sydney, and could not pay Mr Slater at the time, he left his box, portmanteau, and other property in defendant's possession, un til he should return by the Novelty to Auck land. On reaching Sydney he met with an accident which detained him, and he affirmed that he wrote letters and sent money to de fendant, which defendant said he had not received. He disposed of the property, and on plaintiff's return to Auckland offered him the balance, which he was not willing to accept. Hence these proceedings. His Worship said that under the circum stances defendant was justified in selling plaintiff goods, but he was not justified in selling the portmanteau in the v/ay he had done. Judgment would therefore be for the plaintiff to the amount of £5 and costs. LEVOI V. JIAKTEPt. Claim, £3 10s. This claim arose out of a gambling specula tion at cards, but as the defendant could not appear, being away in the country, Mr Beveridge asked that the case mi^ht be adjourned until the 7th day of March. Adjourned accordingly. ALDERTON V. SMITH. Claim, £2 10s. Chas. Alderton deposed that he lent the defendant, Harry Smith, a saddle on the 2nd instant, and that he did not return it. He had since ascertained that the saddle had been destroyed. Judgment for plaintiff. RYAN V. DOYLE. Claim, £8 11s 9d, for goods supplied. Judgment for plaintiff. Adjourned Cases. Dalton v. Preece. Claim, £8 ; money paid.—Hampton v. Beale. Claim, £10 7s Gil. —Quigley v. Smith. Claim, £5 ; use and

occupation. Mr. A. Buckland held a sale of flax and wool this afternoon. There was very good competition. Some lots of greasy wool fetched as high as Is 3d per lb. ; washed, Is Cd. Medium flax sold from £15 to £19 per ton.
