BRADSHAW'S RAILWAY AND CONTINENTAL
GlllDES.—Besides the usual monthly Guide to Railway
Travellers in the British Islands, Mr. Bradsaw has just
issued a compact and reasonably-priced railway guide
for those who are journeying through the continental
kingdom. The map prefixed to this excellent publica-
tion is really beautiful, and is alone worth double the
amount of the little book itself. The information, which
is lavishly condensed into the pages, is admirably ar-
ranged, and, as the phrase is, " well digested."
HAND-BOOK TO THE ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.—A
second edition of this ingenious little hand-book to the
most marvellous of modern discoveries, has just been
published. It is illustrated by neat diagrams engraved
on wood, and is written in a very comprehensible strain.
LAUNCHES AT BLACKWALL.--li. fine frigate-built
ship for the East India trade was launched from Messrs.
Green's building-yard, at Blackwell, Yesterday afternoon.
She was named the Sutlej, and from what we could judge,
not having the advantage of the builder's information, she is
about 1,300 tons. A smaller vessel of about 450 tons was
launched at the same time. A flag amid-ships, we presume,
gave some indication of her name—" The Free Trade," and
we understood that she is to have an auxiliary screw pro-
peller, and is to be employed in conveying cattle from the
Continent. She is of rather a handsome form of body, and
floated well, but we should say that there are vessels turned
out in the river better adapted for the screw than this " Free
Trade." There was a very large number of spectators present,
including some of the directors of the East India Company,
some of the members of the Trinity Corporation, and, we be-
lieve, Lords Alfred and Clarence Paget.
POSTPONEMENT OF THE REVIEW.—This morning,
shortly after the troops had been paraded in their barrack-
rooms, preparatory to falling in, orders were received at their
several barrack, from the Commander-in-Chief, counter-
manding the orders of the day for the grand review in Hyde-
park ; much disappointment was occasioned in consequence,
as a great concourse of persons bad assembled, and notwith-
standing the unfavourable weather, hundreds of temporary
sßcraiffgoaTes, hcoandsibseteinngeroeicttchde d6uortithlgßothie morning. The Light
43d Light Infantry, and the 71st Highland Light Regiment,nfa ntt hr

will remain in billets until it takes place. The field batteries
of the Royal Horse Artillery will wait in town for the
general orders appointing the day for the review ; these will
be issued from the Horse Guards this afternoon.
LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY..-.- The screw auxiliary
steam-ship Sarah Sands sailed hence this afternoon for New
York, with a considerable number of passengers and a mail.
We believe that no specie was exported by her.
