Thk Wellington correspondent of a contemporary asserts that Sir William Fox will succeed Sir Dillon Bell as Agent-General; The cat is now out of the bag.

Out of a fat Commissionership with satisfactory emoluments and innumerable perquisites into the Agent-General's billet! This accounts for him be-, ing m so of much a hurray to get away.
