MOY FAIR.--Owing to the severe storm of Thursday evening and Friday morning, this fair, which was held on the 5th inst., was not so well attended with horses of a superior description, as usual. Middling and ordinary kinds a good supply ; but sales difficult to effect. Milch cows, and those engaged to calve early, remarkably dear ; other descriptions lower than at last fair. Pigs somewhat cheaper.

CONVERSION OF DISEASED POTATOES INTO STARCH.--Mr. THOMAS ANDERSON, of the Canal Stores, Caledon, is purchasing the diseased potatoes in that district, and he informs us that on an average 20 tons per day are brought to him, for which he gives one penny per stone. They are forwarded thence by the Ulster Canal, to Messrs. DIXON, & Co., Belturbet [Co Cavan], to be converted into starch.
