A SPECIAL EDITION of the "EXPRESS; containing the results of the day's llama ie pub lished every evening during the Sporting Season, at di o'clock. Tus telegrams published elsewhere are among the most satisfactory that we have recently received freak India. Sir HUGH SCSI'S vic tory at Gwalior wu a complete and brilliant success; it decided the fate, not of the city only, bat of the fort also. SCIIIDIAH CMS rotated in state to his pilau on the very day of the battle. Twenty-seven guns, numerous elephants, and a vast treasure rewarded the four days of arduous coottict which had been maintained under that murderous heat, against a tremendous supe riority of numbers, with a desperate foe, GNAW by recent successes. The enemy—with what amount of Isis is not stated—had made good his escape from the field, but the toils of war are evi dently fast closing in round this most despe rate and dangerous of the mutinous corps d'arssee. From Oude also there is intelligence of gallant exploits. General Bir Hope GLUM is reported to have pined a brilliant victory at Nawabgunge, near Lacknow, capturing a large number of guns, and driving the enemy across the Gogra. The necessity of having to make good OW ground by battle in such immediate vicinity to the capital of the province, speaks volumes as to the slight progress we have yet made towards the pacification of Oude ; still the check of a decided defeat in that quarter, coupled with the rapid sup pression of the tamultuary and menacing revolt at Gwalior, must go far towards convincing the native mind of the utter hopelessness of the struggle. The death of the crafty and ►ble Mourvit will be a most serious blow to a muse whose great want through out has been a deficiency of competent leaders. Lord despatch had reached the Clovesitoit-Gsitsiui., who had instantly acted upon it by issuing a proclamation giving amnesty to all bat murderers. The results were of mires sot known when the despatch left, but they. can be Little doubt that, in the present crisis of the struggle, there can be no wisdom in animating resistance by despair. The woest testate of the intelligence is the continued state of disturbsuce in Onde : in all other respects it is decidedly favourable. Tug great Will canoe which has for some days past occupied so large a portion of our columns has ter minated in a verdict for the plaintiff. Mrs. SWIM. FEN has gained her cense, and we think quite rightly. Though the proceedings were thus lengthy the principal fact" in issue were simple enough. Old Mr. SAauxt. Swixrxv, the plaintiff's father-in law, died at a very advanced age, in the summer of the year 1854. About three weeks previous to his death, on the 7th of July, he had signed a will leaving the whole of his real property to Mrs. lIENRY SWINFIN, the plaintiff, the widow of his eldest and only son, who had died in the previous June. It was admitted that the signature was th►t of old Mr. Eivrnerme, and that the will was regularly executed ; the only question was whether at the time of its execution, on the 7th of July, he was of, what the lawyers call, a " disposing maul." The test was very clearly laid down by Mr. Justice BTUs, who appears to have tried the ease with great ability. If a testator at the time of executing the will retains • power of volition and a power of choice, if he understands thoroughly what he is doing, know" what property he is dealing with, and in whose favour he is dis posing of it—that is sufficient. The mind may be weak and languishing, the powers of the under standing may be flickering in the socket—still, if he has understanding enough to comprehend what he is doing, and energy of volition enough to will the doing of it, he is very fairly considered to be of sufficiently sound mind for the purpose of making a testamentary bequest. The instrument, in a word, which purports to embody his last wishes is rightly and legally his Will, if it express his will— the conscious self-determination of his mind. In applying this test the jury, we think, very rightly came to the conclusion that old Mr. fiwirrax, when he signed the document of the 7th of July, 1854, meant, and knew that he meant, his daughter-in law to have the property. No doubt there were difficulties in arriving at that conclusion. The old man was in a state of extreme mental inactivity, amounting almost to fatuousness; but he was not imbecile. In the language of one of the medical witnesses, he had a feebleness of memory rather than a failure of mind. Upon the whole balance of the evidence as to what actually took place at the time of the signature of the will, the jury, if the case turned on that point of time only, would, we think, have been amply justified in upholding the validity of the document. lint the case did not, and could not, rest there. The judgment of the jury had to be formed also upon an extended view of the whole probabilities of the ono as disclosed in the evidence. It is not too much to say that these were almost all is favour of the plaintiff. The facts were shortly these : old Mr. Bwlrtrzn, the testator, had been, or fawned he had been, ill-eyed by his father in the matter of a second marriage. Dislike, amounting to aversion, for the Imre sad all the descendants et this second marriage, had been an abiding feeling in his mind. This feeling remained straw as kite, at Weston the year 1863. He scarcely ever saw any of the members of that family; if he wrote it was in terms of distant reserve. Now, Captain BWINFEN, the de fendant in the action, who claimed as heir-at-law, wan the son of hie step-brother—of the man for whom, as the eldest born of that second marriage, old SAMUEL Swtnean had always entertained as especial amnion. On the other hand, for about six years preceding his death he had formed a strong and steady attachment to his daughter-in-law, the plaintiff. It wee upon the death of his wife that &must Eivruirax ant Whig son and daughter-in law guiding under his own roof. Before that them bad bits, fee *beet 18 years, a settled estrangement TER EXPRESS, THURSDAY RIPENING, JULY 21 between them. HENRY, the sea, bad led a wild life, and made what is ecavastienally called an exceedingly bad marriage. In Ide sere it did not prove so. Mrs. HENRY Singreds, though not eppa• rently admitted into general society, sad ignored by her husband's family, had the merit of attaching and reclaiming him. When the mother died, and eighteen years of hatration had removed many prejudices, old Seri:fres turned in his solitude to his son and his son's wife. Parra/mit Sunni= made as good a daughter-in-law as she had a wife. Uniform testimony represents her as having been the life and bad of 8 whiten Hall, after she once went to reads there. She raised the old man's spirits, won his heart, became the principal solace of his decrepitude and decline. There can be no question that, in leaving his property to her, old SARUM, SWINE= gratified at once a very sincere attachment and a very long-standing enmity. Such were the probabilities on the aide of his having been disposed to make a will on her behalf. But the case did not rest on these alone. There was another very important fact of a positive kind, which was in itself abundantly sufficient to show the intentions of old Swiratte. In 1832 he hod made a will leaving his son HENRY all that by the will of June, 1864, he subsequently left his widow; and he did this though he knew that HENRY had previously made hie will leaving everything to her. In 1862, therefore, old Swfuns had left to his daughter in-law, circuitously, what in 1854 he left to her directly. Of course, at the time this will of 1862 was made there was no dream of the possibility that the aged and infirm father would survive the son. The estates were reasttled'i the son died before the father; end it was then found that unless another will was made by the old gentleman, everything he had would go away from the favourite daughter-in-law to the gm of the detested step-brother. The son died less tilde three weeks before the disputed will was made, and when the state of the poor old father was such as seriously to imperil the validity of the be quest which no impartial reader of the evidence can doubt to have been the genuine expremion of his mind and intention. The verdict is ajust and right one. Mrs. Smarm has reaped the deserved reward of her spirited pertinacity, and Mr. KENNEDY ought to win golden opinions by the energy, resolution, and ability with which he appears to have conducted her case. ebe Court. oSBORNE JULY X The Duels. of Kent and Ooriat lenadorff kit Osborne ragarday for Frapacas-holms.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (nMI 001 0111 f 00111111101fDIXT.) PARIS, WZDNBSDLY Evairnra. General de Goyon, the commander-in-chief of the army of occupation of Rome, has arrived in Paris on leave of absence. Madlle. Eveillard had an interview with the Empress yesterday. Prince Napoleon is understood to be devising measures to divert the stream of emigration which annually flows from France and Germany to the western world, towards Algeria; extraordinary advantages are, it is said, to be held out to African colonists. The friends of the Prince, penetrated with the wisdom of the saying that the duty of every good magistrate is to extend his j nrisdiction, are continually suggesting plans for increasing his power and responsibility. The Preue ventilates a plan for abolishing the office of Minister of Commerce, and transferring the half of his duties which relate to the colonies to Prince Napoleon, as Minister of Algeria and the Colonies, while the other half would be confided to the Minister of the Interior. This idea probably originated in the Preue office, and can only be regarded u a feeler; but it must be remembered that the Presse is the organ of the Prince. M. Levtel, the sculptor of the equestrian statue of Napoleon 1., just erected at Cherbourg, was only six years ago a grocer's boy in the village of Briquebee, in Normandy. He had a natural taste for the fine arts, and found mesas to come to Paris, where he became a pupil of the celebrated Rudder, and made extraordinary progress in his studies. He was selected to execute the present work, no doubt because he was a native of the environs of Cherbourg, as on amount of his precocious talent. The Nord of Brussels says that the statue was originally intended to have been so placed that the hand of the Emperor would point towards the English coast, but that on account of the outcry made in England, the word of command " left face," has been giver', and the hand now points westward toward the basins. The statue will remain veiled daring the Quota's visit, and after she has left will be publicly inaugurated by the Emperor on Sunday, Aug. 8. As soon as the Ville de Nantes is launched, on ttugnst 7, another vessel is to be commenced, to be culled the Prince Imperial. The coincidence is remarked that Cherbourg was taken on August 5, 1758, by an English fleet, Boma. minded by Lord Howe, and that on August 5, 1858, an English fleet, with a grandson of Lord Howe (Admiral Fremantle) as second in command, will bring the Queen of England to Cherbourg to dine with the Emperor of the French in the harbour. The BalutPtsbke of Lyons asserts that the Pops'. Nuncio has remonstrated with Count Walewski on the subject of some articles on " Modern Rome," written by M. E. About, and recently published in the Monikur. Although the journals are silent as the grave con cerning the conspiracy of St. Etienne, the Prefee. two is in a state of great excitement about it. Two magistrates hare joist been despatched to a southern town in consequence of a report that another con• 'piracy connected with the former has been dis covered. M. Proudhon's appeal against the sentence of three years' imprisonment and 4,000 fr. fine, pronounced against him by the Correctional Tribunal, on acoount of his work, "De la Justice dans la Revolution et dans l'Egliae,* was called on to-day before the Im perial Court. A letter from M. Prondhon, dated from Brussels, was read, requesting that the hearing might be postponed for a month. The court re jected the demand, and proceeded with the case by default. The judgment will not be given till late this evening. It is announced that M. de Montalembert'a daughter is about to be married to M. de Meaux, a catholic writer belonging to the legitimist party, who published several articles in the Revue Ces teusporairte at the time when it was directed by the Marquis de Belleval. The Bourse continnes to be extremely dell, owing to the absence of speculation. The Rente fell 15c. for cash, closing at 68fr. 10c., and left off at yester day's price, 68fr. 20c., for account. There was scarcely any alteration in the price of railways. SWITZERLAND. BERNE, JULY 25. An inquiry is going on relative to the circum stances which led to the official announcement that M. Frey Heron had been elected president of the Confederation, whereas, in fact, he only obtained 111 votes against 145 given to M. Staempfli. One of the scrutineers is suspected of fraud: the Federal Assembly is convoked for to-morrow to investigate the affair, which occasions a very great sensation. THE UNITED STATES.

(Bakes the Judas Ordinary.) This was • suit for judicial reparation, promoted by the husband on the ground of adultery. The marriage took plea in October, 1847, at which time Mrs. Wells was not more than 14 years of age. The match had been made alto pale without the knowledge of the petitioner's parents, and it had received a very reluctant assent from the bride's father. The young couple were separated in 1860 -when the petitioner went to America to push his fortunes as an engineer; the respondent remaining with her mother, Mrs. Cox ' who had, in the meantime, become a widow. Her fi rst child was born soon after Mr. Wells had left Engbutd. After an absence of some months he returned, and renewed his cohabitation with her, their abode being at Peckham. About this liras Mr. Wells alleged that hie wife had addicted herself to habits of intemperance ; and on the 4th of November, 1868, he found her drink iasi w t ith • distant relative, named Mrs. Lowe. He im ordered Mrs. Lows out of the house, and the respondent insisted on going with her. She did not return till the following night, and on the next morning she lit her husband's roof altogether, and took lodgings in Albany-road Camberwell. The adultery which formed the ground of the present suit was alleged to have been committed with two persona, one being a man named Berryman, who w lodging I with her mother while Mr. Wells was in America; and the other being a young man named Wildman, with whom, it was stated she had had an improper intimacy while ahe wee liviug with her husband In 1866. The first charge rested chiefly upon the evidence of a servant, who deposed that she had several times seen the pestles in bed together. In support of the other allegation, another *errant, named Handooek, had been examined, and she desoribei various ads of feinillarlty which she had witnessed. On ma occasion Wildman had taksa the t to Cremorse, and they had not returned till our in morning ; and on another °cession they had been in a bedroom together for a considerable period. Mr. Wells, wbe did not eppreve of Mr. Wildman's visite, bad indicted personal elumtimenstt upon him. There was a very novel plea of ccadcastien— namely, an allegation that while the suit was pending the ondent had an interview with her husband, and that he had had matrimonial intercourse with her, but this plea WU not substantiated. _ Bir C. Cnsawell in giving judgment went at great length into the evidence by which the allegations had been sought to be supported or denied. With regard to the adultery which Mrs. Wells was maid to have committed with Berry man, he eoufeassl that if be had had to found his decree with reference to that charge alone, he should have had great diffloalty In anteing at a satisfactory decision. With regard to the averment+ relative to Wildman, however,the case was different. If the evidence of Handoock was to be believed, then undoubtedly Mrs. Wells had been guilty of the offence of which she was accused. It was alleged on her part that Wildman's visitshad been with the knowledge of the husband, aftiritvtleiv. wishing be i re t to wds be evidence to to th eto thay w tha wire t en onwiethocoshim aka, when Mr. Wells had found him in his house, he broke a stink over hie head; and the fact was corroborated by two Ist he cwhich Wildman admitted he bad written. In these letters hargd Wells with having committed a brutal assault upon him, and thn ateued him with legal proceedings, which, however, be had never thought proper to take. Not only was the evidence of Hendon& supported by other witnesses, but it was in some manner confirmed by the evidence of Wildman himself. He confessed that they had frequently visited bar at her husband's house, that he had frequently east elsewhere, end that he had been out with her lab at =lt was true that he denied ever having committed Ty with her. Hie words were "I have btu very ire: leading, but not quite eo bed as that." Still Ms own admk @ions, coupled with the testimony of other witnesses, were very snob calculated to sustain the positive statements of Handout ; mad the court could not but come to the conclusion that Mrs. Wells, in company with this person, had felled in her =2: the =Triage vow. He (the learned judge) must ounce tor the separation.
