Mr. William Summers, the Member for Huddersfield, died on Sunday,

from malignant small-pox, at Allah abad, where be had gone to be present at the meetings of the Indian National Council. Mr. Summers, who was about forty, was well known during the late Parliament, as he assisted the then Opposition Whips in their duties. He is said to have been popular in his constituency ; but be only carried the seat at the late Election by 261 votes. Sir Joseph Crosland, who then opposed him, and who is a very popular local man, will stand again ; and, unless Huddersfield has escaped the wave of depression which is just now affecting the Gladstonian Party, the Unionists should press their opponents hard.
