 public competition numerous valuable coast-fisheries (such as 

 Tadousac, Seven Islands, &c.), besides many famous Salmon- 

 rivers and Sea-Trout streams, and renders disposable certain 

 commodious building establishments long occupied as fur- 

 trading posts, by the Honorable Hudson's Bay Company, at 

 the mouths of the most important of these fine rivers.
