Hillsborough, June 70. 2U? tf NATIONAL CUSTOMS. [The late English papers contain seme amusing accounts of the proceed ings of i he curonation court of claims. This court consists of the high stewards of England, who sit judicially in the wlnte hall of the king's palace of West minster, to reccive the petitions of per sons, who by the tenures of their respec tive estates are bound to perform servi ces of different kinds at the coronation. Tht-si seiviccs being the condition of the enjoyment of the estates, the claim of the services is equivalent to a claim of the continuance of the estates, by ap pealing *o fulfil the conditions on which they were granted. ? The grants of this kind being of very ancient date, many of the services have, at the present day, a ludicrous air; but they serve to add to the pomp, and in the. eyes of the pre sent generation, to the novelty of tht coronation ceremony. The following description- of some of the state offices claimed at coronation*, is extracted from Arthur Taylor's (ittry of K*ga tity ] Nurf Ak Herald. 44 The II*. reditary Grand Almoner of England, atterds at a coronation to be the distributor of alms of certain money collected in a silver dish, and ot all the h'uc cloth upon which the king walks from the throne in Westminster hall to the door of ihe tbbey church.? lie claims as the fee of his office, the said siiv< r dish, wuh a linen towel or napkin, wnich covi rs n, and a tun of good wine; bu the former of thuse only arc allow ed. The office of grand almoner be longs to the l.arony cf Bedford. ^ 44 The Ciriif Iluiler is one of the pi mtipa; othcers u ao serve at the royal feast of ihe coronation; nut of the dunes which he is to perioral, we have no other account than such as may be ga tneicd fiom tne ce> cinonial*. The fees which are claimed by the butler, arc the best gold cup and cover, with all the vessels and wine remaining under tne l>ar. and all 'he po>s and cups, except those o! gold and silver, \s inch shall be ii? the wine cellar alter dinner. 44 Tne Dapif'-r or Sewer, ia the offi cer who bungs up and arranges the disncs i j least, a service which is per formed with great cercinouy at tne co rooa'ion dinner of our kings. 44 The office of Grand Carver seems to havt b-en attached to the earldom of Lincoln, before that title mergtd in the ciown by the accession ol Henry IV. It was claimed by the duke of Lancas ter as earl of Lincoln, at the coronation ol his royal nephew Richard 11. and at that .?f Henry IV. son ol the duke of Lancastei, which was performed by Jol>n can oi Somei.^ei, to wuom the king as signed Ins own right of cutting and carv ing at the royal least. 44 The Chief Cuj>bear( r is the lord of the manor of Great Wimondly in Hert fordshire, who claims to serve the king with the first cup that he shall drink at dinner, and to have the said cup, which is of silver irilt, as his fee. 14 The office of Grand Panneter which has bem some time extinct, was formerly holclcn with the manor ol kib worth Bt.-auchamp in the county of Lei cester. The duty of the grand panne sti r was u to bcare the saltc and the kciving knives from the pantre to the kinoes dyning table;" and his fees were the sait?ellers, knives and spoons, laid be'oiv the king at the coronation feast. " The Chief Lardiner, as his ti?le Mifficiemly testifies, is entrusted with the care and management of the royal lardi-r. and of all provisions contained in it . 11 i> fees arc the remainder of the heel, mutton, venison, kid9, lard, and other fles-h, as also fish, sal^t, Sec. remain ing in the laHrr afier the coronation least. The office of chief laruiner or lardcrer belongs to the manor of Seoul ton in the county of Norfolk, called Hurdelcy's manor, which is holdcn by this service in grand sergeantry. Seoul ton having passed into the family of N< villc, lords Abergavenny, the office of chief lardiner is generally perlonncd by them. " To the manor of Ashill or Ashley, in the county or Norfolk, belonged for merly the office ol Napier, the possess or of which had charge of the napery, or table linen, at tlir coronation dinner. " The bishop of Durham and the bi shop of lluth ami Wells, claim jointly of old custom to assist or support the king in the procession; the first walk ing on his right hand, the latter on his left. " The I)can and Chapter of West minster claim for the l)ean to instruct the king in the rites and ceremonies used at his coronation, and to assist the archbishop in performing divine ser vice: also, that they should have the keeping of the regalia and coronation robes. The fees which arc claimed for this service, arc, robes for the l)can and his three chaplains, and sixteen minis- | tcrs of the church, the royal habits which arc put off in the church, the staves and bells of the canopies held over the king and queen in the church, and the cloth on which their majesties walk from the west door to the. theatre or platform. In addition to these, they have sotnc.itncs claimed an ounce of gold for their chanter, and an hundred manchet loaves, with the third uf a tun of wine, for their repast. M We now proceed to the nonors of the laiiy; amongst whom the lord of the manor of Scrivelsby, iu the county of Lincoln, is particularly distinguished by bis right to perform the noble and splen did service of king's chain pion, the mos* perfect perhaps, and most striking re lique of feudalism, that has come down to us from tin ages chivalry. The duty of the champion is to ride into the hall where the ftast of coronation is held, durini; dinner, mounted on one of the k.ng's coursers, and clad in one of the king's best suits of amour; he is attend ed by the lord high constable and the 1 eat 1 marshal, and by the mouth of a he i aid is to proclaim a challenge to any who shall deny that the king is lawful sovereign; which being done, the king drink* to him fiom a gold cup, which, with its cover he receives as his fee, and also the hcrsc, saddle, suit of armouv, and furniture thereto belonging. [It is asserted in one of the London papers, that a person has been iu train ing ever since the death of Geo'g; III to act as champion at the approaching coronation, the health of the lord of the manor.of Scrivelsby rendering it neces sary to perforin the duty by deputy. A long training is necessary to inure the champion to the extreme weight and 'cold of the. amour. He begins by wear ing one piece three or four hours a day, ? when he can bear that, he puts on two, and so on till he can bear '.he whole.") 44 The lord Grey dc Ruthvcn claims I 10 carry the kind's golden spurs anions the regalia, in the procession to the ab bey. This tcivice devolves upon the Lord Grey, by descent from the family | of Hastings, earls of Pembroke, who performed it in ancient times. 44 The lord of the manor of Worksop in Nottinghamshire, claims the service of finding a glove for the king's right hand, and of supporting his right arm while holding the sceptrc royal. " The Baronies of the Cinque Ports claim to carry over the king in his pro cession a caiKipy of cloth of gold or purple silk, with a gilt silver bell at each corner, supported by foua staves cover ed with silver, four barons to every staff: and to cairy a like canopy in the same manner over the quetii; having tor their fee the canopies, bells and staves, wit!\ the privilege of dining at a table on the king's right hand. ? The above service is performed by thirty-two of the barons ^oii free men) of the ports, habited alike in crimson satin. 41 The Lord Mayor and Commonalty of Loudon claim by proscipiion that the said mayor, and twelve citizens to be chosen by them, should assist the chief butler of England in the execution of his ofFicc, or as it is expressed in their claim, 44 dc ?evir en le office de butler - s/si/i in axjdment del ca/iilal bu'ltr de .1 tig Icteri e;" and that they should sit at a table next the cupboard on the left side of the hall. Also, that the lord mayor should serve the king after din ner with wine in a gold cup, and have the cup and its cover for his fee. A si milar claim is preferred by the same par ties for the service of the queen. 44 The mayor, bailiffs, and common alty of Oxford, claim by virtue of their charter to serve in the office of boteliy with the citizens of London, and to have for their fee three maple cups. " I he lord of the I^le of Man, is hound by his tenure to bring two falcons to the king on the coronation day. 14 The lord of the manor of Nether Flisington in Kent, claims the service of presenting to the king three maple cups on the day of his coronation. " The lord of the manor of Heydon in the county of Essex, claims one moi ety of the said manor by the service of holding the towel to the king washing before dinner, and the other moiety by the sefvice of holding the basin and ewer; but of these services, the former only is now allowed: anciently the two moieties were commonly held by sepa rate lords, each performing his own scrvicc. The manor of Liston in Ilssex, is held by the service of making wafers for the king and fjueen, and bringing them up to their table; the tenant having all the instruments of silver and other metal used in making the same, with the linen, and certain proportions of ingredients and other necessaries, and liveries for himself and two men. " The loid of the manor of Adding ton, (called Bcrdolf's manor) in the county of Surry, holds by the scrvicc ol finding a man to make a mess called gcrout in the king's kitchen, and bring ing it to the table in his own pet son: the former part of the service is usually done by the king's master cook, us de puty to the claimant." ? OYfcign lnVe\\\gencc . From the New York Evening P<?st. Tonnage Duty on Frcnch Vessels . It will be seen by the following trans lation front a Paris paper of the 2 1th of June, that the bill which passed at the last session of congress, laying a tonnage du*y on French vessels, had been taken up in the chambcr of deputies and un dergone a discussion. Considerable sensation is manifested on the subject, and various suggestions are thrown out as to the best mode to be adopted (o countervail its effects upon the com merce ot France. Extract from the Constitution..!, June 2-i. CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES. Mr. Casimer Perier? In addressing you now, gentlemen, my intention is not for the present to support or oppose the proposals for the budget of the navy, hut merely to awaken the attention of the chamber and of the government to an event which is intimately connected with the question now under Considera tion. (Profound silence.) An important decision of the government of the Unit* ed States has just been made knows.-? S iould this decision, which I consider as authentic, be confirmed, it doubtless will have a most serious influence on our commercial relations, and wilt prove highly prejudicial to the interest of the merchants and shippers of our sea port towns. It appears certain that the Ame rican government has laid a tonnage duty of 18 dollars on French vessels en tering its p.?rts. This duty amounts to about 100 francs per ton. Such a duty, prune men, is equivalent to'J real pro hibition; it is not only destructive of all future means of commercial intercourse with the United States, hut, also, it ex poses to inevitable ruin the owners of shipments commenced, made, or 011 their way to the United Slates. The losses which may result from this mea sure ought to be attributed to those who have not made alt their exertions to aver, a storm which was necessarily to burst upon us, owing to the want of lore sight that presided in the establishment of our relations with the several m ui time trading powers, aryl to those who have not deigned to imitate the exam ple of England, who has just adopted the system of reciprocity in raostol her relations with the United States. The Americans have long since remonstrat ed against the great dispari y of our custom house system towards them, and against the charges of every description to which their vessels are subjected, in our ports. It is asserted that the Ame rican government, to prove its desire of preserving profitable and amicable re lations with France, has made the moit ronciliatory proposals, and endeavoured to establish reciprocal conditions for the commerce and navigation of both na tions, representing it was impossible that a free and enlightened government should submit any longer to see its in terests suffer by a series of obnoxiuu* duties, which it had the prudence and good sense not to try on French vessels. It appears that these pacific negotia tions have not led to any result, and tint the Americans, tired to see no satis! i. tory answer made to their claims, have adopted the painful resolution which i have communicated. My mention, g< ii tlemen, is not to attempt to frighten you, but I must say, that should the govern ment think fit to apply a suitable reme dy to such a state of things, it might re sult in serious evils and diffir.uk to re pair. It is, however, but justice to sav that, if in this circumstance, some re proaches may be attached to the French administration, the re*ponsibiiity which may result from its false measures, ought to weigh on a number of respec table persons who have been consulted on this subject, and who in expressing to government their opinions, have nut felt willing to be impressed with the idea, that if a few unenlightened mer chants wish for a monopoly, the general* interest of the trade requires liberty; and especially that government and na tions demands now, (and will still more insist upon it in future,) that the first condition of the mutual exchange ot commodities between them be founded on the equality and reciprocity of the arrangements they may think fit to adopt; and in order to prove how mucu reason and sound ideas continue to pre vail over the prejudices which till now have governed the commercial world, I will mention the motion made not long since in parliament by the chief of one of the first houses in England, Mr. lur ing, respecting the so much boasted of prohibitory system of that country. The minister of the navy was tolling us just now, that in order to be strong, we ought to have a navy. Yes, no doubt we ought to be strong, but we ought also to be just; and wo should ft<i a persuasion, that in the negotiation allud ed to, government will not lose sight ct
