TO TIM IDITOIL OP THI EXHIBITION EXPAIBBA.
Sir,—Aa manufacturers o-spiring to merit fur
originality of design and other points in the manufacture
and finish of goods, we gladly hailed the opportunity that
would afford a fair tribunal of the prescut state of the
manufactures of all nations, and made eery early applica-
tion for space to exhibit our productions, which has been

Thus our final committees are deriding, without examina-
tion or inaniry, the future position of London as a Feat of
manufacture. Trusting you will favour us by inserting our
i case in your columns, we are, &c.,
