INTERCOLONIAL. The Intercolonial Conference Sydney, January 20.

The Intercolonial Confeiencc met again to-day, the Hon. Thomas Dick beinjr present as representative of New Zealand. The question of the influx of Chinese was under consideration the greater part of tho sitfins 1 , and a resolution was filially passed setting forth that the introduction of Chinese at the public expense in one coleny was prejudicial to all the colonies. A committee was further appointed to prepare a memorial to the Home Government on the subject. The memorial to the Home Government, which is to be prepared by a spe; cial committee appointed at to-d*iy's sft** ting of the Intercolonial Conference, will be made as a representation in favour of the reversal of the action of the Government in Western Australia in originating a scheme for Chinese immigration ; and resolutions were passed by the Conference that the introduction of Chinese at the public expense in on colony is prejudicial to all the colonies. This has special reference to the Western Australian scheme as recently gazetted.

Sis — "Aren't you coming to church with us this morning, Herbert?" Her* bert — " Wo ;an excursion train is juat in, so I shall stroll about on the beach and look at the breakers — the Sabbath breakers, I mean. The new rjure cash system now being initiated by G. and C. will certainly prove a benefit to the public. It has been a great success in Sydney and Rtelbourtic, and when strictly carried out tb.fr eifctomcf who bujs at an. establishment where the goods arc marked low to ensure a rapid s,ale must be a great gainer. G. and C. sell their drapery millinary, and clothing at such prices for cash as gives the buyer the advantages of a shareholder in a co-operative society, without the risk of being called upon to bearaportionof tbclossshpuld the year's business prove unsatisfactory. Garlick and Cranwell will aim to retain the confidence which the public haye hitherto shown them, and are determined to give the pure cash sj'stem a fair trial; whether they gain or lose the first year. Country buyers on remitting cash with order will be supplied with goods' at co-opcrativeXprices ; just the same as though they made a personal selection. Furnishing goods, such as carpets, floor cloths, bedsteads, bedding, and general house furniture, the largest portion of which is turned cut at our own factory, will be marked at the lowest 'remunerative prices, and a. discount ot five per cent, will be allowed to those who pay af. the time of purchase. G. & C having realised the entire value of their stock during- fteir late cash sale, the present stock is new and ( cheapiy bought. An inspection is invited.— Garuck and CKAXWgif., City Hall Furnishing Arcade Queen-. street,'AucleUnd.
