    “At the Countess Grey's soirée, on Friday [20 July] evening, the approaching marriage of Viscount Howick with the lovely daughter of Sir Joseph Copley (Sprotsborough) was announced; and her Ladyship and the noble Premier received the congratulations of the company on the matrimonial connexion which their heir apparent is about to form. The mother of Miss Copley was Lady Cecil Hamilton, eighth daughter of the Hon. and Rev. George Hamilton, fourth son of James, seventh Earl of Abercorn. Lady Cecil was advanced to the precedence of an Earl's daughter (a dignity not extended to her sisters) in 1789, and in 1792 was united to the late Marquis of Abercorn, from whom her Ladyship was divorced by act of Parliament, 1799, when she formed a second alliance with Colonel (now Sir Joseph) Copley. The Marchioness of Abercorn died in 1819, leaving by the Marquis one daughter, the present Countess of Wicklow; and by Sir Joseph, two daughters and one son. The latter is married to the only daughter of Lord Yarborough.—Evening paper.”
