On Sunday last the Honourable James de Lancey, Esq; Governor
of New-York; and on Monday His Excellency William Shirley,
Esq; Governor of Boston, and his Honour, our Governor,
return'd here from the general Congress at Alexandria. At
their entering the city, they were complimented with a peal
of the new sett of eight bells in Christ-Church steeple.
This musical peal was cast by Lester and Pack, who are at
present the most noted and ingenious artists of that kind in
England. They were hung by Nicholas Nicholson, a native of
Yorkshire, in a manner the most convenient, and intirely
new: And when a clock for the chimes is added, which he
seems very desirous of, they will be the compleatest sett in
America.
