The Albany Argus, Atlas, Ohio Statesman, &c., received yesterday, concede the Member elect, from Huron and Erie Counties, Ohio, to the Whigs, and make a tie in Joint Ballot.— This is coming on. They have now only to give up one in Trumbull, (whence we have the official returns,) and then there will be a Whig majority of two in Joint Ballot. After that, they may hold on to the three Members from Fairfield and Coshocton as long as they please, but they will have to give them up at last, giving us eight in Joint Ballot. They shall be let off at that, seeing that the luck is against them.

The Committee at Tammany Hall, last evening, nominated Dr. Rawson, of the 16th Ward for Coroner.
