The Richmond Enquirer contains letter from E. s Dun

London 3D. in which the writer bitterly complains
of the management of the United States department of the
Exhibition Mr.. Duncan says:
1.-THE exhibition, on the part Of the United States,
has Leen most unfortunate in its management. and
great dissatisfaction exists among the contributors
and visitors. In the first place. the Central Commit

only known recognized representative of the Uni

municate with the English Commissioners and the
Swans of the Continent assembled here-a fellow
who cannot speak sentence of good English Or any
other tongue except that of Yankeedom and if he
has any knowledge Of the arts of literature we
have not yet discovered it. The State Commission
ers are not recognized and have no position here

to him the condition of things in London, as under

Union
Truly those citizens of the United States who in Lon
don feel keeny such state of things; and it i
not at all surprising that Mr. Duncan should write strongly
upon the subject Boston horse auctioneer and Horace

concludes his letter follows:
