The Congressional election.

The official returns of the election in this district for a member of Congress, to supply the vacancy occassioned by the death of Hon. John Tyler, have not yet been received by the Secretary of the commonwealth. The sheriffs met in this city on Saturday last, to make up returns, but owing to the absence of those from Hanover and New Kent counties, it became necessary to adjourn ovr until to-day. There seems to be no douct of Mr. Lyons's election, by a handsome majority.

Unofficial returns in our possession from the entire districch, with the exception of Hanover, foot up as folloows: Lyons 1,220, Macfarland 1,061, Young 213, Saunders 202, Randolph 118. It is reported that Mr. Lyons has a majority of oover 100 in Hanover, and if the vote from the camps be counted his majority in the district would be still further increased.
