1JO:S:N JACOB AsTtift is eta - titled by those
know him beet, not only among the, richest but
also among the . truly great men of. ihe world.—
The talent which, in another age. and in another
state, of society, was exercised in the art of war,
is now to a great extent engaged in the peaceful
Occupations of the counting-room. ' War bas been
a great field fur the development of great talents.
But commerce affords scope for a greater variety
of talent, and is a field on which the Most gigan
tic genius, and,the most ambition may ex
tend themselve s in Ordimited conquests: In this
department of 'lumen action, Astor has displayed
n great Mind., Landing on our shores as a com
mon steerage pissenger—S poor ulreducated boy—
a
Stringer to the language and the peopla—he has
by the sole aid of his'osu industry, accumulated ,
a fortere scarcely second to that of any individ
ual on tiirlobe; and has executed . projecui that
have tac o e identified with the history of his
country, and \ which will perpetuate his name to
the latest age. \ .1 • •
lie was horn in \ July. 1763, ill the village of
Wahluir, near Heidelberg. io the Duche7 Of Be,
den, Germany. Hie father was i very worthy
man and held the office s of bailiff. I At the age of
eighteen, young Astor, on`the eve lof leaving his
home (or a foreign .land, resolved it; be honest and
induttrioua, and nerer to grimbk. ,In March,
1784, be landed at Baltimore, &steerage passenger,
hiving sailed from London io November, and
been detained by the ice three moiathe, 'On' his
voyage he became acquainted with a fellow coun
trynian of his, • furrier, who induced Mi., Astor
to learn his art. The main portion of Mr. Aster's
property at this time consisted of seven !kites_
from his brother's manufactory . at Landon, which;,
with • few other'erticles of merchandise, he sold,
and invested the small proceeds in furs, and com
menced learning the fur-trade. He was soon af
ter engaged as clerk in the fur establishmen(of
Robert Bolen, the (Ire! cousin of Walier's father.
(see Walter Bowen) a good old quiker, who priz
ed Mr. Astor very much for his untiring industry
and fidelity. Subsequently, by the aid of a few
thousands from his brother Harry, a rich Bowery
tiotiiier. be engaged in business for himself, osier
elated with the late Cornelia. Heyer. Afterlards
be became associated with Mr. Smith, the fattier
of Gerrit Smith. l
- ' ,i'.
.
At the close of, the rivolotion•er war, °slip,
Niagara, _Detroit r and other posts being in nos.
session of a foreign power, a aerial@ embarrass•
meat was thrown in the way of, the fin trade r .—
Soon'after. Mr. Aitor entered the business. 4o
1794.5, by a treaty these poets were surrendeied
when, contemplating the grand opportunity 'IMO
offered to him, he said. " Now I will make my
fortune in the ,fur.tra3e."' His prediction was
veafied. Astor. with. an industry, and sagacity
unparellelled. improved his opportunity, and after
a lipse of iii years, during the first year of the
present century. he had amused sosisthiog like
250,000 dollars.' By the natural course of accu
mulation, this sum at the present time, would
have amounted to s6.ooo,ooo—but in-Mr. Armes
bands it has increased to more than four - times
that amount. Nine years later, at the age of
fony.fire, Mr. Astor founded the American Far
Company, for the purpose of competing with the,
powerful British association's, which were in a
fair lay to monopolize the trafic in far through
the Northern and Southwestern portions of oar
continent. The outposts of this new „company
atretehed into new and hitherto Grit:oddest fickle,
and Secured the richest spoils of beaver, otter, and
buffalo. It had, indeed, , previously as well as
now, been the policy of Mr. Astor to extend his
conquests into 'New territories, The projection
and establishment of this company did not satisfy
his gigantic intellect. His grand project of the
Astoria settlement was now formed. It was big
design to establish a series of forts along the Pa
cific Ocean, and on the' Columbia'river, in cod.
nection with our government, and thus monopce
Ism the for trade west of the Rocky Mountains. ,
The 'first post, Astoria, was established in 1810. ,
by a party of sixty men, under the command' of,
Mr. W. P. Hunt. This settlement, which was
destined to be the commercial emporium cif, the
northern-Pacific, was to be supplied with commo
dities from New York. and the sane vassal was
also to convey supplies to the Russian trading
settlements farther north, and receive fan in es
change. With the furs from the Rtitaile poets,
and from Astoria, ahe was to proceed to - Canton,
then ,the best market for fors. and - return home
with teas, silks and nankeens. In the mirth=
of this magnificent cateeptiza. Astor anticipated
that the settlement would prove a bill of costs for
the first two years, and that no conaideralge polka
would bentctivxd in less than ten years. At the
expiration of twenty years be counted en receiv

Canada. Yet Mr. Astor did not bestow at his
counting-house' more than hell the time most
merchants feel compelled to give their concerns.—
It has been retorted of him, by one of , his inti
mate friends, a man of some eminence, that Mr..
Astor was capable of commanding en army of
500,000 men. During • rad portion of Mr.
Astor'. 'active life, he resided in a large house in.
the lower part of Broadway, and lived in • style
.of princely magnificence, attended by servants
from some of the various nations with which he
traded, and among them some from the Empire of
the Weans's. His house was furnished with the
richest plate, and his apartments adorned with
worka of art, among which was a Cupid Ily Meg.
nail, which was regarded as a work of rare
merit, and for which Astor paid • princely stun.
Notwithstanding the Magnitude god success of
Mr. Astor's bisiness operations, yet the greatest
source of his wealth hu resulted from the increas.
sal value of real estate consequent on the contin
ued growth of the city. At an; wry' day he
foresaw the futon greatness of this commercial
emporium of the Western Continent, and was
wont to convert ten-thirds of his annual gains into
real estate not one foot of which be ever mort
gaged. It hits been his policy to invest in mart
melon i ihe best property offered, and in cue of
fore closure, which has often happened, be has
bought the property in at much less than its real
'slue. In this mode, together with the - cocain-
sally increasing value of real estate, in this city,
he has multiplied his wealth far beyond the nat
ural accumulation by the ordinary interest. and
hence too the bulk •of Ms property: Mr. Astor
has vast tracts of land in ?Mould, Wisconsin,
lowa, and other puts of the Weal, the prospective
value of which is Try great. The great porticin
of this prOperty is in Teal estate and mortgages in
this city. Could Mr. Astor's property be kept un
broken and under its present management, it
would become the largest individual estate ever
known on the globe. The estimates of the value
of his property given above is moderate; those
knowing his affairs best piece it at $30,000,000,
, and some even as high as $50,000,000. His in
come, on a modernist estimate must be $2,000,000
a year, , or 156,000 a month, which is, about
$4l 500 a week : $5,760 a day, $240 an hour,
and $4 a minute. Mr. Astor has made a done
tion_of $350,000 for a Library in this city, the in.
terest of which is to be expended in employing
agents to purchase books, and in the erection of e
building. Mr. Cogswell, late editor of the New.
