Alexander McArthur (10 March 1814 – 1 August 1909) was an Australian and British businessman and politician in both countries....McArthur returned to Ireland in 1848 and in 1850 he and his brother formed W. and A. McArthur & Co. merchants of softgoods. Back in Sydney in 1851, he was very successful as a shipping agent for the export of gold....he was appointed to the New South Wales Legislative Council.[2] In 1863 McArthur went to England to take over the London business and as a result vacated his seat through absence in October 1865.
McArthur was then a London merchant engaged in colonial trade and lived at Raleigh Hall, Brixton. He was a J. P. for Surrey [3] and Deputy Lieutenant for the City of London. He became a Fellow of the Imperial Institute and from 1863 a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society. He became a member of the Royal Colonial Institute in 1869, and also of the Victoria Institute and the British Association
