he Liffey
and western road, in the parish of Carrick and county of Westmoreland,
113 miles from Hobart and 10 from Launceston. The Liffey is crossed by a
bridge at the township. There are a small episcopal church and day
school, a mill, a brewery, and three inns. Annual races are held near
the township.

_Catemara_--a small stream falling into Recherche Bay, in the county of
Kent.

_Circular Head_--a bold promontory, 500 feet high, forming part of a
small peninsula in the north-west corner of the island, about 30 miles
east of Cape Grim. It is seen at sea at the distance of 10 leagues. It
is 280 miles from Hobart, and 160 from Launceston, and here the western
road terminates. The town of Stanley, which stands on the eastern side,
contains an episcopal church, a Roman catholic chapel, a post station, a
custom-house, three inns, and some substantial buildings. It has also a
benevolent society, and schools. There is a resident police magistrate.
The Van Diemen's Land Company has an extensive establishment here, and a
considerable trade is carried on between the settlers in the

shipped in small vessels belonging to the port. The town and district of
Stanley have greatly advanced during the last ten years, under the
intelligent management of Mr. Gibson, the company's agent. The failure
of the previous management may be traced to those general causes which
have always prevented the success of similar companies, when they have
attempted cultivation and grazing. Mr. Gibson urged upon the company the
importance of establishing a tenantry, and succeeded in attracting a
considerable rural population by offering advantageous terms to small
farmers. The arrangements made with them, from the depression of prices,
proved unfavorable to the company, but the prosperity of their tenants
has probably firmly fixed a population on their estates, which will
ultimately indemnify them for all their losses. Occupying a geographical
position highly favorable to trade, and in the vicinity of extensive
forests of valuable timber, there can be no doubt that within a few
years their settlements will become of great importance. Within a few
hours' sail of Port Phillip and South Australia, their timber will find
an increasing market, and enable their settlers to turn to good account
