LONDON, April 23, 1895.-- The Grand Jury this morning returned to the Central Criminal Court, Old Bailey, a true bill against Oscar Wilde and Alfred Taylor. The prosecuting witnesses in the case are being lodged with a number of policemen in a house in Croydon street to prevent them from being mobbed.

The Exchange Telegraph Company says that Wilde will probably plead guilty of one offence, but Wilde's solicitors deny that their client will plead guilty to even one more offence. They declare that his case will be fought to the end.

The Sun says it is expected that Wilde's counsel will apply for an adjournment for a month and ask that Wilde be admitted to bail in the meantime.

Oscar Wilde's valuable collection of prints, Moorish pottery, bric-a-brac, &c., will be sold at auction to-morrow. The articles to be sold include Carlyle's writing table.
