Halifax, August 1. . . [3 paragraphs on ceremonies
surrounding the arrival of his Excellency Governor Parr on
Sunday the 20th instant]
On Wednesday his Excellency with his suite, attended by
Captains Mowat, and Elphinston of the Royal Navy, dined at
the house of Justice Robertson, with some of the principal
inhabitants. In the evening a public supper and ball was
given by the town and conducted with the greatest
sensitivity and decorum, which did not break up until 5
o'clock in the morning, when his Excellency returned on
board the Sophee, as highly pleased with the entertainment
as the company was gratified and delighted at his presence.
