OSCAR WILDE.

London, May 18.

Oscar Wilde has for some days past been staying with his mother, Lady Wilde, at her town residence in Chelsea. His health is stated to have considerably improved since his release from Holloway, and he has to a large extent regained his spirits. During the whole of the present week he has been busily occupied with his solicitors in preparing his defence at the new trial at the Central Criminal Court next week before Mr. Justice Wills and a jury. With the exception of his legal advisers, only Wilde's most intimate friends have been permitted to see him.
