this function, as it stands, returns each element of the matrix as a  
separate variable..
I guess what you want to do is rather something like

#include <octave/oct.h>
...
...
DEFUN_DLD(...)
{
Matrix A;

for(int i = 0; i < row1; i++)
{
	for(int j = 0; j < column1; j++)
	{
		out >> x;
		A(i*column1 + j)=x;
	}
}
return octave_value(A);
}
