Conflicting accounts continue to be published regarding the Kimberley goldfields. The correspondent of the Sydney Morning Herald, at Derby, writes to the effect that he strongly advises people not to come, and says he can positively assure them that the whole field has not produced 900 ounces <>f gold. An Adelaide telegram, on the cmtrary, says that the latest reports from Derby state that another man has arrived from the diggings with 150 ounces of gold. It is believed that the diggers are withholding as much gold is possible for the purpose of preventing a rn«b. On Saturday thirty-three passengers left Syduey for the field, and yesterday three more steamers were to leave.
