On board the brig Charles, Capt. Dever- eux, of Boston, which arrived at New York last Sunday, from Buenos Ayres, was brought great natural curiosity, be- ing an amphibious male animal of the size of young heifer, and in appearance par taking ofthree species of animals, the el- ephant, the hog, and the Jack-ass. He was taken on one of the large rivers about one thousand miles north h-west of the city of Buenos Ayres, by some of the inhabi- tants of the country. Having been seen to leave the river and go upon land some distance, twenty meE on horseback diyi- ded themselves into four parties, to inter- cept him on his return. One party foll in with and succeeded in capturing him with the stlasso,o Ia moose of hide) with which those countryfnen are very expert. The animal IS remarkably swift and powerful. but quite docie. A letter from a gentle

 man many years resident in Buenos Ay- res and Brazil, represents this animal as very curious and rare, an inhabitant of the interior of South America. The own CT, who intends the animal for exhibition, IS man of large landed property, but at present unacquinted with the English lan- guage. The merchant to whom he is con signed, intends to have him brought in the brig to this city, where he will first be ex. hihted. The denomination given by the naturaiists to this animal. is the "Tapir.'
