April 22. They write from Ballymony in the county of Antrim,
that the post of the 15th of this instant, having carried
there the agreeable news of the Right Hon. Alexander Earl of
Antrim's being married last Thursday to Miss Pennefather,
Capt. Alexander Mc Aulay, John Coppage, Esq; and Mr. Patrick
Mc Cormick, attorney at law, in his Highland dress, with
several Highland pipers, (and other persons of distinction)
met at the house of Mr. Daniel Mc Nail, and caused a
hogshead of whisky to be put into a brewing kettle and set
fire to it in the open street, where they continued drinking
a good health to their young Lord and Countess, and Lord
Dunluce in the box; and danc'd round the kettle, and at
every bumper huzxa'd, and cry'd out Lord Antril and his
Countess forever; so that the whole night was concluded with
ringing of bells, piping, dancing, drinking, broken bones,
and other demonstrations of joy.
