The Duke of GLOUCESTER, just as the Deputy Speaker was about to rise, entered the. House, when he addressed the Peers present in nearly the following words : —My Lords, I have the honour of presenting to your Lordships a petition now in my hand, from the Chancellor, Masters, and Scholars of the University of Cambridge, whose prayer it is, as upon' some former occasions, That your Lordships will nut ; grant any further concessions to our Roman Catholic fellow-subjects. it may be recollected by your Lordships that I have presented similar pe titions on • many othtT•occasions from the same distinguished body, buton every such occasion I felt it my duty to state that I differed from the prayer of the petitioners. From the high si tuation in Width their favour has placed me, it was necessary that my name should beofficially attached to the petition I now present to the House'; and I have therefore to move that this pe tition be now read.. The President of the Senate (Mr:Gaillard) then rose, and stated that the certificates, forwardc4,l3l .. ;he Electors from each State, would be delivered to the AU: • Mr. Tazewell, of the Senate, and Messrs.

The President of the Senate then opened two packets, one received by messenger, and the other by mail, containing the certificates of the Votes of the State of New Hampshire. One of these was then read by Mr. Tazewell, while the other was compared with it by Messrs. Taylor and Barbour. The whole haliing been read, and the votes of New Hampshire declared, they were set down by the Clerks of the Senate and of the House of Itepresentaves, seated at different tables.

MEXICAN MINING 'COMPANY. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL (with Mr. Heald) moved, on the part of Mr. Kinder, one of the subscribers to the Del Monte Mining Company, for an injunction, to restrain Mr. Taylor and several other persons, Directors of. the Company, from with drawing from the Del Monte Company a valuable mine, called the Bolagnos Mine, and making it the basis of a new Mining Company; excluding the plaintiff, Mr. Kinder. The Learned Solicitor ; in a vpry long statement, detailed the terms and con ditions upon which the Del Monte Company had been formed, and the means resorted to by the defendant to transfer its ad vantages to a new Company. The foundation of the _original Company was a deed of a very special nature, and of unusual length. 'rhe LonD CHANCELLOR frequently asked the Solicitor if he had read the whole of the deed in question, and upon being answered in the negative, said it would be absolutely necessary that he should he master of its contents before he determined Whether there was an equity in the case, which called upon him to interfere by injunction. if there was, he certainly would interpose; but unless he was satisfied upon that point he would not, upon an rx;pwle application, have recon T se in the first in stance to so strong a measure as an iu l junctior. His Lordship desired that the deed might be left wit.i him, and he appointed Friday next to proceed with the discus/on, ~~ ~ Maine - - - New Hampshire - - M aSSUCIIII setts - - - Rhode Island - Connecticut - - Vermont - - New York .. - New Jersey _ Pennsylvania • - Delaware - - _ 81 01 Maryland - - - Virginia _ .- North Carolina - - Smith Carolina -- •ereorgia - • - Kentucky - - - Tennessee Ohio - - Louisiana - - - i ssi ssi ppi - Indiana - Illinois - - - Alabama - - - M issouri - - Total - Z 3-1 4 The PRESIDENT Of the Senate then no person had received a majority of tl '.39 he ye' dent of the United.

He further declared, that John C. Calhoun, of South Carolina, having received 102 votes, was duly elected Vice-President of the United States, to serve for four years from the 4th day of March. The Members of the Senate then retired. The SPEA KER directed the roll of the House to be called by the States, and the Members of the respective delegations to take their seats in the order in which the States should be called; beginning at the right hand of the Speaker. The roll was called accordingly, when it appeared that every Member of the House was present, with the exception of Mr. Garnett, of Virginia, who is known to be indisposed at his lodgings in this city. The delegates took their places accordingly, ballot-boxes were distributed to each delegation by the Serjeant at Arms, and the Speaker directed that the ballot should proceed. The ballots having been all deposited in the bates, the fol lowing tellers were named by the respective delegations, being one from each State in the Union : Messrs. Cushman, Livermore, Webster, Eddy, Tomlinson, Buck, Tayler, Condict, Ingham, M`Lane, Kent, Randolph, Hooks, Campbell, Forsyth, Trimble, Allen of Tenn, Sloane, Livington, Rankin, Jennings, Cook, Oven, and Scott. Mr. Webster, of Massachusetts, was appointed by those tellers who sat at one table, anti Mr. Randolph, of Virginia, by those at the other, to announce the result of tho balloting. After the balloting were counted out, Mr. WEIISTRR rose and said—" Mr. Speaker—The tellers of the votes of this table have proceeded to count the ballots contained in the boxes set before them. The result they find to be, that there are—For John Quincy Adams, of Massachusetts - 13 votes Andrew Jackson, of Tennessee Wm. ff. Crawford, of Georgia - - 7 votes 4 votes. Mr. RANDOLPH, from the other table, made a statement corresponding with that of Mr. Webster, in the facts, but vary ing in the phraseology, so as to say that Mr. Adams, Mr. Jack son, and Mr. Cawford, had received the votes of so many States instead of so many votes. The SPEAKER then stated this result to the 'route, and "an. flounced that John Quincy Adams, having a majority of the votes of these United States, was duly elected President of the same for four years, commencing with the 4th day of March next. On the motion of Mr. TAYLOR, of New York, a 'Committee was ordered to be appointed, to notify to the President - of the United States, and the President elect, the result of the ballot. The house then adjourned• announced by ‘ t r h tl e ' 'l n 'e t lie e r t s .a , c s t o o n f te 3 c i l r a . p A pi l n a ';: l a snhial‘ e 'ixnug it l atn te :on w k a - s pl a e e in the galleries, and some-slight hissing foll7eil.. Wlit:n the Muse suspended its proCeedings until the g alleries were cl:a-red, Lord Gifford then quitted the House, which was entered by the Lord Chancellor at five minutes to five. Lord KENYON said, that on the absence of a Noble Earl (Shaftesbury), whose absence he believed all _their Lordships still regretted, he had to present to the House petition from the Mayor, Aldermen, and Burgesses, and other Inhabitants, of the town of Wenloclt, in the county of Salop, praying that their Lordships would grant no further concession to the Roman Catholics.--Received and laid upon the table. The Bishop of PETERBOROUGH presented a petition to the same effect front the Dean and - Chapter of Peterborough. He observed, that the persons with whose petition he. was en trusted were too learned and discreet a Body to approach their Lordships in a wrong cause, or to assert it by allegations not supported by experience and truth. The petitioners had no prejudice against the Homan Catholics in all circumstances which did not go to effect what they conceived to be the funda mental principles of Church and State. They wished, that in the discussion, of so momentous a question, all hostility of feel ing should subside; they rejoiced in the removal of many Penal Statutes which might afflict the consciences of Roman Catholics; and the petitioners would feel happy if further concessions could be granted to so numerous and respectable a Body of their fellow-countrymen without prejudice to our Political and Eccle siastical Establishment. The petition was ordered to lie upon the table of the House. 111 r. CURT ris, Mr. Kt RWAN, and others from the House of Commons, brought up three Private Bills, which were after wards read a first time. DUBLIN MERCANTILE PETITION. The Marquis of LANSDOWN rose, when the House were proceeding to the Order of the Day, observing, that he had rc petition which he wished to present to their Lordships. It had some reference to a question which had already been discussed at coniidczable length by their Lordships, which was pregnant, he trusted, with consequences the most beneficial, and which, for the interest of all countries, could never he discussed too much; the question he now alluded .o was that of a free, un fettered, anti unrestricted trade. The petition he had the honour to present was from the Merchants, Bankers, and Traders of the City of Dublin, who prared that their Lordships would proceed to remove all. restrictive duties on trade, and more es pecially on coals as connected with the use of machinery—by the 'working of steam-engines. It was the earnest hope of the pe titioners that such duties would he considerably reduced, if not altogether abolished ; and the petitioners submitted that they could see no reason for continuing the restraints on com merce as carried on between the different parts of the United Kingdom, and as affecting their commercial intercourse with the Last and West Indies. The petition was ordered to lie upon'tbe table. I‘ . I;II{KET • GARDENS. - . Lord ELLEN BOROUGH now presented a petition from (we understood) Mr. John Gould a Market-gardener, in the parish of Chelsea, praying that their Lordships would not in terdict him front setting spring-guns in his grounds. He had found that spring -guns were a main protection to his property, which was of considerable value, and which he feared could not be so well defended by any other means. This petition *as ordered to lie upon the table. Lord CALTHORPE presented a petitiou from Kingston upon-Hull, praying for some measure for the more speedy re covery of Small Debts. • PROTECTION FOR• GARDENERS. Lord'SUPFIFLD. said, that preparatory to his moving their Lordships to proceed to the Order of the Day, for the House going into a Committee on the Bill, which was yesterday se'n night read a second time, (the Spring-Guns Abolition Bill,) he wished to-have the honour to propose to their Lor±ships a Bill, consequent on the other measure he had contemplated, for making it larceny to feloniously take away fruit and vegetables when Upon the ground or upon trees. He had taken this step, in consequence of his haVing been accused by a Noble Duke ( Wellington), whom he was happy to see in his place, of not carrying the principle of the former Bill t oo f ar . Ile was rather surprised at this objection on the part of the Noble Duke, be cause it bad been announced that the latter meant to oppose his . Bill on its being brought in. If he could suppose for a moment that the Noble Duke was insincere in the unexpected support he bad given to the Bill, he could conceive no course more likely to defeat the object of the measure than the amendment which had been proposed by the Nobie Duke. Not one objection hid been made by their Lordships to remove the use of spring-guns from plantationsof every kind, and yet it was proposed to extend it to all property in another form. He could only view the pro posal as a ruse de guerre, in the Noble Duke's own way. In these new cases of difficulty and danger, the Noble Duke was the first to stand in the breach.—(Calls of Order ! from the House.)—lle did not attribute this as an artifice on the part of the Noble Duke ; but even if it were so, it would be defeated by the Bill, which he had now the honour to present to their Lordships. If this auxiliary bill; for the conservation of ve getables and fruit, were acceded to by their Lordships, he should be encouraged to present another for prohibiting the use of, spring-guns ingardens and orchards. He had, during the last week, been favoured with an accumulation of correspondence. on the subject, the authors of 'whim, in general, had expressed great surprise at the part taken by the Noble Duke. The Duke of WELLINGTON had not risen to repel the insinuations of the Noble Lord opposite. With respect to transactions on former occasions, out of that House, to - which the Noble Lord thought it proper to allude at the present time, and which were wholly unconnected with the bill before the House; he must say, that it was most unpatliamentary conduct in the Noble Lord; it was, its fact, - beneath • the station which the Noble Lord' held id' society to couple this measure with actions not done in Parliament.—(Cries of Hear !)—lle cer tainly did think, at the outset, that the principle of the Noble Lord's bill was nothing less than an insinuation as to the cruelty of Noblemen - and - Gentlemen, who wished to pie erne their game. With respect to the ruse de guerre, which the Noble Lord . attributed - to him, he certainly had mentioned his inten tion of opposing the bill, and this was no secret to Noble Lord.. but when he heard.the statement of that Noble Lord iu the douse, and not till then, he had determined not to oppose the bill'; indeed•,. - he himself 'had . proposed the subject as one • well worthy of consideration. .If the 'Noble Lord meant to ex tend this ni - eaSure to gardens, and property of other kind's, he himself would:propOse•to extend it to all inclosures. Lord SUFFIELD; in explanation, did 'away with the im.; preSsions 'which Irislormer expressions were calculated 'to make • on the Mind of the ;Wile Duke. With respect to the enjoyments of any class of men, especially those of small fortunes,'he did not.wis-ta . to interfere with what could legally be. supported ; but if Gentlemen would mark .out to themselves enjoyments 'nut 'protected by law, he - would contend that they bad no right to tlitm:' 'Why not protect those enjoynienui by legal means ?- AdventakeS,ir was true; belong to all stations in life, propor tioned to the social scale; but numbers 'of iterea blight ndt to re •gulate snob pretensions. The present Rill hadbe en p re p are d in concnlttnue with the - Noble and Learned' Lprd . upon tfie Woolsack ; attic Noble Lord rear hiirovith the assistance :of tstninent•professional men, with much pains and some cost,' l'et he thought no pains or expence ill bestowed in accomplishing so desirable an object. (Here the Lord Chancellor read the title of the Bill,) . The Earl of MALMESBURY h a d never use d spring:lpm and declared, that he never would use them. If they viere-eus tifiable at all, it would only be after sun-set; and during the night, when persons could hare no. reasonable pretensions let entering the grounds of others. With respect to the Bill ju a st proposed by the Noble Lord, he conceived that it might be ert tended to turnip-fields, and also to growing weeds. He should be sorry that the life of a man should be forfeited for a pheasant or a partridge, but he should be more sorry. if it were lost for a pippin or a pumpkin. . The Earl of LIVERPOOL was decidedly of opinion, that where persons bad no right to kill a man, they had no. right so Set guns to slay him. He wished to extend the principle of the present Bill. Lord GROSVENOR wished the House to go into a Com mittee on the Spring Guns Bill, which had been read a second time, without a dissentient voice; and for this purpose their Lordships had only to consider the propriety of passing the. bill unincumbered by the amendment which had been proposed by the Noble Duke. The latter, he must say, was an entirely new .proposition, which extended the provisions in regard to, gaMe. only to gardens. If the Noble Duke (Wellington) was. sin cere in his support of the Bill, which he believed him really .to be, why persevere in an amendment which clogged its present progress, and might p o s s ibl y t h row i t o ut elsewhere.. He•hoped the Noble Duke would withdraw his amendment, and support this measure as a separate Bill. The Marquis of SALISBURY wished the measure to be more general, as lie was a sincere friend to the principle of the Bill. With regard to what had f a ll en from his Noble Friend near him (Malin' esbury) as to setting spring guns after _sun-set and during the night, he was of opinion it would be of little or no avail, as poaching was mostly carried on during the clay. He wished for some legal mode of defending such property, without endangering lives. Upon the question now being put, the Bill was read a first time, and ordered to be printed. Lord SUFFIk;LD, in reference to the debate of a fornier night, observed, that his course of proceeding had been misun derstood by some Noble Lords. It was then propOsed to extend the principle of the Spring-gun Bill to gardens ; but to ob viate this difficulty in the progress of that Bill, he promised to bring in a specific Bill for the protection of gardens. This pro mise, as their Lordships now saw by the Bill just read a first time, he had endeavoured to perform in the first instance. He could also lay before their Lordships, if necessary, a statement of the law.relative to gardens, some of the absurdities of which, it could not be forgotten, had been described on *a former evening by the Noble and Learned Lord upon the Woolsack, and also by the Noble Earl at the head of his Majesty's Government. It did great credit to his Majesty's Ministers, when it was consi dered how much their attention was engaged by more weighty affairs, that they had taken so much trouble to inquire into this branch of our law. The statement on this subject was furniihed by persons high in the confidence of Government, with a view to a general revision of our Criminal Code. He put it to their Lordships, whether the Bill ought not to be read a first time, and then left on the table, as an earnest of that more general system of legislation which was in contemplation. The Bill for abolishing spring-guns might go on nevertheless ; but lie did not wish to unite them together, as it might endanger the safety of the former in another place. The preamble of the present Bill declared, that spring-guns and other 'offensive en gines were unlawful, and then it enacted, that it was " not lawful to set them in gardens, orchards, nurseries, or-other cul tivated grounds, for destroying or harming any persons." The Noble Lord then alluded to a low cases in which the proprie tors of land had set spring -guns, and forgot to 'inset them in the morning. From this neglect he said the most fatal accidents had occurred. The first case was that of a landed proprietor, who was shot by the spring-gun which he had set in his own planta tion ; and although he was severely wounded, and lingered long in pain, he caused the dreadful machine to be set again, and t t ae consequence was, that through his negligence or inattention, he was again *gliFivoiSlY wound d.—( Hear !)--In a letter which be had received from Birmingham, it was stated, that a gentleman had set spring guns in his enclosures, the wires of which intersected the walks in all directions. His gardener, on his way to trim the vines, accidentally touched the wire, and was severely hurt. In 1818, an inquest was held at St. Thomas's Hospital, before Mr. Thomas Shelton, on the body of a .gar dener, who in setting two spring guns had been wounded in the arm, and died from loss of blood. Mr. Shelton, in 'sum.; ming up the evidence, arid, that " no person had a right to set spring guns in his t.rard,m, for the robbery of a garden. was not death by law; " and he gave it a s his o pi n i on t h a t th e J ury would be justifie d in bringing in a verdict of wilful murder against the party who had caused the death of an individnal by means of these engines. Another melancholy accident had happened in Ireland through the incautious use of them. A omitted his general eldon i practice' ventured()ut and, Captain Whitby had, in order to prevent his gard en being pl, lady who fered of some choic e a ppl es , , se t s p r i ng guns, w i t h the avowed grouse intention of taking them awa y i n t h e morn i ng. On the first g n d he infir m his da mother , y o f s an ag eo ed tin a of doors, took the singular resolution to walk out that 'morn ing, and, what was more singular, to pluck an apple front the very tree under which the guns were set.. She unfortunately touched the spring, and when the servants discovered her shy was quite dead. The Noble Lord concluded by moving the third reading of the Bill for abolishing the use of Spring aims - in Gardens, Orchard, and other cultivated grounds. The Duke of WELLINGTON begged tarernind the NOble Lord that he had opposed neither the second reading of the Bill, nor its going into a Committee, and as yet he had not heard any opposition to the clauses which he moved to be included in it.— The Noble Lord would 'find, on investigating the matter, that manraccidents had been prevented by these instruments, and how Much property had been -saved froni depredation r and it' the gentlemen in the neighbourhood of the town were deprived of them, they must employ more gamekeepers and watchmen to protect their property, which would be attended with !greater expence and with a greater loss of life. Ile wished- tis, protect the country gentlemen from the insinuation that they alone set these instruments.—(hear!) Lord ELLENBOROUGH agreed with the Noble puke - in thinking that a great loss of human life was saved . by the "spring guns. lf their Lordships were to legiSlate on all the modes by which men accidentally lost their lives, he did not know the ex tent to which they might be carried. • More deaths .wereocca sinned from loaded guns being carelessly left in Slieway, 'than from the setting of these engines. It was impossible to prevent the recurrence of such cases. He conceived it absurd to 'intro -duce the principle, and then to bring in separate Bills which -were to apply the principle so approved of to all the different cases. Could it not be embodied in one intelligible Act if they wished it to be carried into effect ? Where there was m.'brick wall or a fence of wooden palisades, there was no chance of per sOns falling over either, except it was.n child or a drunken loan. The prineiple of the Bill might be correct, but the practical con. sequences, would be to lay the property of gentleqlen near the town at the mercy of all the thieves in the neiglibonrliood: . The. Earl-of LA U DE It DA LE objecte'd to the number:Of the Bills before the House. He thought it a clumsy, way of legis lating; it was the practice of their Lordships to produce one uniform Bill on any subject, the principle of which had meg their approbalion:_ The LORD CHANCELLOR said that the proper course would be to consolidate the three Bills. He agreed in the pro priety of affording protection to the nurseries and orchards ; but two Acts had passed in the reign of the late King, which declared it Penal for any person to pluck fruit in these enclosed places. Lord HOLLAND said that the two Bills ought to be read a first 'time, and the other might in the Meantime-go . ..through a Committee; and this would give ,their Lordships an. Opportu. nity, if they should. think it advisable, further to introducettie general principle which it involved. Lord SUFFIELD said that he had no objection to intro.. ducieertain words.into his 13i11, if they met with the apprObs.: thin of the House. Their Lordships then resolved themselves into a Committee on the Bill. , The first asuse was read by the Chairman. Lord ELLENBOROUGH wished a clause to be introduced into the Bill, 'excepting .those gardens or *mations ybich were surrounded by high walls 'or wooden palisades frOM its operation. . The Karl of LIVERPOOL moved that, the Bill extend to every place where .spring-guns or steel-traps - wser'e _set.
