LONDON, APRIL 9.--With reference to Oscar Wilde's defence the Westminster Gazette says Sir E. Clarke wrote early on Saturday to Mr. Humphreys, saying that having regard to the events of Friday, he thought it right to say that if Wilde desired that he should defend him on his trial he would do so, and that for the services so offered, he, of course, would not accept any fee. Mr. Humphreys has replied stating that the accused gratefully accepts his offer of treatment.
DISSATISFIED WITH HIS TREATMENT
The Evening News states that the prisoner was seen yesterday by his friends and his solicitor. The effect of his incarceration has not tended towards any improvement in his appearance. His hitherto curled locks are dank and straight, and he has dropped all pose whatever, his sole anxiety being at the present moment with regard to bail, for which a most urgent and pressing demand is about to be made. According to the prison authorities, he neither eats, drinks or sleeps. He is extremely talkative and gives vent to loud denunciations of the manner in which he is treated.

Messrs. Ward. Perks, & M'Kay (86, Gracechurch Street), solicitors, write as follows with regard to the "Chameleon"—"On behalf of Messrs. Gay & Bird, the publishers of the first and only number of this publication, we ask you to be good enough to allow us to say through your columns that our clients of their own act stopped the sale directly they were aware of the contents of the magazine. Such sale was not stopped at the request of a contributor or anyone else. They were requested to renew the sale, and refused. Had the trial proceeded, we should, at the proper tims, have tendered our clients to give the above facts in evidence."
