"It is said that in a storm of oar coast, which threatened the destruction of the ship and crew, while the other passengers were lust in apprehension, and regardless of aught save relf-prelerYalien Mr Aster appeared upon deck, arrayed in his be et clothes.— This excited some aurprise. and when asked ids objeer in discarding the more approprlate garb be had worn during the voyage, he replied, "that if he escaped with his life it would be with his bestclothes, std if be per ished no matter what became of them. ". I.Nektly the norm paged over. "Paring hi* detention i n tiro Chptipeake, he made the acgaintance of a conntryman of his, a furrier by trade, who willingly initited him into the materiel of his craft, and counselled him to invest the prof** of his merchandiie—a portion of which continues) of musical instruments from a brother's manufactory in London—in furs. Mr. Astor was then twenty years of age; and having decided to become a furrier, biought to his new pursuit all the activity of yoyth, with those habits of diligent observation whieh slevelure4 themselves in his character. "This wo at the duo: of the recAutionary 111111r...1 Peace had been proclaimed with Great Britain the year previous; but the British military outposts withiq , star territory had not been relinquished, and the corn- merciel intercourse with Canada was restricted. Mr Astor bad been heard to observe thee at the time he prophesied, that ten yewsa would elapse before Oswet go, Niagara, Detroit, Michilimackinac, and said tq himself, 'then, when the frontiers are suneedered, I will make my fortune in the fur trade.' "Both predictions were accomplished. The treaty with Greet Britain, of 1794-4, removed restriptiona ttq our trade with her colonies, and surrendered thesibeive outposts, and thee Mr ; /ism, baring the trade rid; the Canada., and with our werteeneeipttey, both *peg to his enterprise, proceeded rapidly to reellee the fee! tune, the foundation of which was laid in MOM than Su years of thrift and patient industry. "By the first year of the present center/. he had a maesed something like $250,000. Forty-four rare have since elapsed. By the natural course of accumu lation, this sum would have amounted, at the end of such a period, tq Ready $6,009,004 Mr. Are tor's hands, it has increased to nearer four times that amount, for we should be moderate le eaihrtating actual wealth at $20,000,000. In 1800, the man of thirty-seven pearl look back with satisfaction upon the comet of the buy of eighteen, who, under the 'bade of a linden tor, near his native village, had resolved, oq the ere of 'teeing his home for a foreign lend, to. be bunest and ;nduetriClus, and never to gamble." In 1009, befixerded the American fur company; but soon di/Bedard with even the large profits derive 4 from that concern, he conceived the idea of Orrice' ing apermunent settlement on the Pacific, connected with the settled portions of the country by a serial of trading posts, and by these means to monorolize 'OA ' fur trade west of the Rocky mountains within the pre, cites of the United States. The pro:mita-105,,s and emulation of the Pacific settlement,. ware tq, fla supplied by a vessel sent annually from New York e The same vessel was also to convey supplies to the Rea!

With these latter, and those amassed at I the settlement during the )(sr, she was to proceed to Comm. end inyem ths woceds of ber mile 4 1 kif 'teased nankeens. Aceerdingle, in 1810, a pa ry or sixty men started from New York for Oregon, and in f3eptember of the same year the Tonquin was despatch ed oa the same errand. This vessel and one or tea sabeemseet eaves, were lust; the colonists were ere to every trial and suffering; and, during the war 0181 12, the settlement, unprotected by thp amen:Meet qf the United States, and threatened by a - At:Mai meteor, war, was treacheroesly sold, by one of Mr Astor's rarer nets, to the northwest fur company. Thus ended a grand and well-contrived enterprise , . after so great an outlay Bud loos as would have antes bilated most of American fortunes. About $1,000,! 000 were expended in the carrying out of plans wbislr were entirely frustnited, and which were in progress tat the same tune that the American fur company was in full operation, when the ships of the projector were in every see, mud his cargoes in every principal city of oureountry. "Asap instence pf the magnitude of the view* of Mt Astor, it is stilted that, lead his agents succeeder' in effecting a permanent settlement at Astoria, be anti ! cipated that the establishment would prove a bill of costs daring the fast two rein, and would sot begin to afford very profitable returns before the expiratioe of the second decade. During the third deeade,it would have netted him something like $1,000,000 per an! num. If we esteem him an enter prising merchant who awaits, fore year, the return of his ',ewe, from Caner or the Pacific, what term shall we apply to the adven- turous and self-relying spirit, which,' regardless of the "changes nod cbaaces of this mortal life," organ izes and executes a vast Sid costly project, destine 4 only to mature at the expiration of ten years?" One of the greatest seamier of Mr. Aster's weal% however, has been the natural rise of real estate it; New York. At one period he invested twoehirde tai his annual gains in lane, and he now possesses whole acres in the most valuable quarteis of the city..
