mayor of the city, and twice elected to congress.  He possesses very

M'Murray Joseph.................................130,000
	The history of this gentleman furnishes a brilliant example to persons 
of humble means as to what may be accomplished by industry and integrity in 
business transactions. In 1824 he arrived in New York poor and friendless, 
but, by the possession of superior abilities, and a diligence in the performance 
of the subordinate duties of a merchants office in which he found employment, 
he obtained the conscience and respect of all who knew him. After laboring 
years for others, and being thoroughly acquainted with mercantile operations, 
he embarked, with slender means, in the emigrant passenger business, and soon,
by pursuing a course of fairness and liberaIity to his  country men and others 
on their anival here from their native land, acquired celebrity and wealth. 
Emigrants from Europe are subjected to many impositions and extortions from 
persons who charter vessels for their passage to this land of promise; but the 
subject of this sketch stands proudly aloof from the herd of "1and pirates" 
who victimize the poor emigrant. Mr.McMurray has one of the largest shipping 
establishments in New York, and is the principal agent in country for the Provincial 
Bank of Ireland. He has two sons connected with him in business, who, with I 
their father, stand preeminent in the commercial world as honorable men.
