THE FUNDS.

Consols still continue heavy. They left off yester-
day at 991, to 91, and opened at the same price, since
which they may be quoted 901 Their receding may be
attributed to the news from Paris of the partial change
in the French ministry. Our speculators in Spanish
and Portuguese Stocks are rather disappointed that no
confirmation has as yet been received of the taking of
Figueira by Admiral Napier, which was confidently
stated yesterday, in consequence of which Spanish and
Portuguese Securities are rather lower Spanish
; Portuguese 651 to 66, with little doing.

HALF-PAST ONE.

Consols, which were heavy in the early part of the
morning, owing to the partial change in the French
ministry, have improved, it being privately known
that two new ministers, Admiral de Rigny and Du-
chatel, have been appointed without putting the French
Cabinet to any difficulty. . _ _

Portuguese and Spanish Stock also improved ;
Spanish 301 31 ; Portuguese 66 to.
We just hear the Lightning has arrived from Lisbon.

An honest Hibernian was in the House of
Commons gallery on Thursday, and asked who that
sleek member was (pointing to Mr. Pease, the
Quaker) ? He was told that it was Mr. Pease, the
chief (there) of the Q's. " And who is that sturdy,
stalking gentleman (meaning the new member for
Leeds, who was at that time passing along the side
gallery) ?"—" That is Mr. Baines."—" Faith, then,"
he rejoined, "the House is well off; it has Pase and
Banes."

Captain Salaun, of the ship Melay-o, lately
arrived from Sumatra, has brought with him a living
tapir, a very curious animal which had never yet been
seen alive in Europe. The height of the tapir is 3f
feet, its size that of a cow. It has the head and snout
of the hog. Its upper lip is elongated like the ele-
phant's trunk, but it is much shorter. It uses this
•trunk to take up its food. Its legs are thick and short,
and resemble those of the elephant. Its fore feet have
each four toes with nails. The hind feet have only
three. It has the back curved, and is without a tail.
Its colour from the shoulder to the haunches is white,
and the rest of the body, that is, the fore part and the
hinder part, black, except the ears, which are tipped
with white. Its hair is very short, and its eyes small,
like those of a hog. In the day it sleeps, and eats
little ; in the night it is awake, and continually eating.
It is good-natured. It is not carniverous, but feeds
upon the bark and sprouts of trees, plants, and especi-
ally fruit that has fallen from the trees.—French Paper.
