The Slate Representatires.-The House consists of l86 members. We have returns from I32, of which the Wings have GA, the Taries 54, doubtful ], no choice l3 54 remain to be heard from.
 From the Boston Com. Gnsette q Jackson paper.
 The returns Of votes for,Governor received from Maine show a considerable change in favor of the Whig cause, but not enough to defeat the election of Mr. D"nlar, whose majority will probably he from 1000 to 200O. The predictions we made on Monday have been for the anost part verified. Mir. Smith has been reelected to Congress in Cumberland by arg- majority than eyeR his friends anticipated We considered his chance doubtful. Mir. Evans has been l reelected to Congress i" Kennebeck and Mir. Parks in Pen0bscot ln York there Is no choice; while n
 Lincoln Mr. kavanaeh Is said 10 have lost his election and Judge Bailey, the Wbig candidate, have been elected. We shall not be surprised to hear that Col Jarvis has also lost his eleclioD In the State Senate and House of Representatives. there have been chan ges favorable the Whgs; but there will be decd- ed majority tn both branches friendly the admnis tyatiOD there can be no dOMbt
 There hard struggle for Member of Congress for Cumberland Disrirt The Jackson candidate The Jackso" majority tn this district as year was l622-he present year .lIe majority lnr smith, the Jackso" candidate, is only 3S2-C0"ront.
 U In the present Congress the Whigs have only one Member from Maine, r. Evans) but at the late election two Evans and BaiIey) are certainly chosen a"d probably third. We shall probably have full re- turns by next week.
 7tush.-The Times gives currenrytd the assertion that in Maine Robert P. Dunap is elected by in- creased Majority" The only difference between hs from, Dunlap last year had 5 539 than his opponent Goodenow, and 800 majority all can ddates, while this year he has hut 249 more than Sprague, and 287 votes less than majority, C his plurality is reduced 290 votes, and his majority 10 minority of 287. This discrepancy between truth and the Times is not very remarkable.-Jommdi.
