It is probable that a few days will bring the complete returns of the Kentucky elections.—As the election of Gen. Metcalfe is considered by both parties as ascertained, we have not considered it necessary to continue the publication, from day to day, of the various statements, all inconclusive, which the mails nightly furnish. As long as the event itself was uncertain, we attended at the Post Office, and kept our hands in the office long after midnight that we might supply our readers with the earliest information they arrive. In the mean time, we present our readers with the following statement of the majorities, as far as received, arranged by Congressional Districts. It has been prepared with some care, and is believed to be accurate according to the latest returns received here:

[Table of majorities: 6,338 for Metcalfe, 3,836 for Barry, giving Metcalfe a majority of 2,502]

From three counties (Graves, Hickman, and Trigg,) we have no returns; and from Calloway, Caldwell, Allen, Muhlenburg, McCracken, and Monroe, the returns are imperfect. In the three counties to be heard from, the Jackson estimate claims a majority of about five hundred for Barry.
