Messrs Humphreys and Sons, Oscar Wilde's solicitiors, attended before Baron Pollock in Chambers yesterday, and intimated they were prepared with the necesary securities, which the police were satisfied with. An appearance on behalf of Wilde will be made at Bow street to-day. Both the gentlemen who have offered themselves as bail have been notified to be in attendance, and should the presiding magistrate be satisfied with the nature of their bail, he will sign an order for Wilde's release, and it is anticipated that the prisoner will be liberated the same afternoon. He has suffered greatly from insomnia, consequent on extreme nervous prostration.
