SECRET MURDER DlscovEREp.-The Street In
spector of the Seventh Ward proceeded, yesterday
morning, to tear down an old house at the corner
of Water and Walnut streets, that had long been
unoccupled, and, upon removing some dirt in the
cellar, they discovered the remains of the body of
a woman, who, from appearances, must have been
dead nearly two years. The decayed state of the
body prevented any trace Of the means of her
death, which no doubt was committed by violence,
or it would not have been left in such situa-
ton The Coroner will hold an investigation to-
day, when further developments may be made.

FURTHER PREPARATIONS FOR THE FASHIONABLE
SEASON AT THE WATERING PLAcEs.-We under
stand that Mr.. Reed formerly well known to the
fashionable world as manager at Congress Hall,
Saratoga-the Wavery House, New York-the
United States Hotel, Philadeph ia-and recently at
the Wadawannock House, Stonington, has taken
the Hamilton House at the Narrows for the ensu-
ing season This will be good news to all who
wish delightful, healthy and accessible locale du-
ring the ensuing season, which promises by the by
to be of the most brilliant for many years
The Hamilton House is confessedly one of the
most charming watering places on our coast It is
situated on an eminence, commanding glorious
prospect of the ocean-the bay-Staten Island-the
Notifications at the entrance of our harbor-a beau
tlful winding beach-and an agreeably diversified
portion of the pleasant scenery of Long Island
The heahbreezes of the Atlantic come sweeping
over the place, and the facilities for bathing are
unequalled. Nothing can exceed the beauty cf
the water scenery. The broad bosom Of the bay
ls constantly presenting a magnificent panoramic
view of vessels of all sizes and from every cline
whilst the charming walks and drives in the neigh
borhood afford most agreeable variety of enjoy
meat, not to be found at all watering places. The
house itself spacious admirably arranged, and in
every way peculiarly well adapted for the purpose
OF a summer residence
Mr.. Reed has experience and talents unsurpass-
ed, and perhaps, unrlvaled by any in this
try We understand that he is preparing to refit the
house in the most princey style and in particular
intends procuring place on the sea shore for ba-
thing, between the Fort and Bath house, which
will be the most beautiful affair imaginable.
There is retired cove on the beach, which will be
fitted up with the greatest comfort and elegance.
Indeed, so romantic, recherche, and secluded will
be this spot, that we should not be surprised if it
would be taken possession of exclusively by some
naad queen and party of attendant nymphs.
Stages will run regularly from the House to the
beach, and steamboats, from the Narrows to the
city, and stages along the margin of the bay
through Flat Bush, will render this watering place
by far the most accessible in this neighborhood l
must indeed attain an immense popularity, beycnt
that of any of its rivals.

ANOTHER TERRIBLE CALAMrY.-We have just
received-in some round about away, only known
to Postmaster sWicklfie-an account Of most
appalling disaster
From the New Orleans Republican. March o.
SHOCKING DYAsTER-SIxry OR SEVENTY LIVES LOST
We have this moment heard of another appalling steam
boat disaster the particulars OF which, nearly they
can be obtained in the confusion the hasten
to make public The steamer De Soto just arrived
reports that while passing down Old River yesterday
morning. between half past three and four she into
collision with the steamer Buckeye bound up. In less
than five minutes the Buckeye went down and is esti
mated that from between 60 and human beings persisted
The larboard bow Of the De Soto struck the Buckeyes
starboard sde just about the forward hatch. The lat
the moon shining brilliantly at the time There
board the Buckeye nearly $50 souls the major part Of
lost, not more than ten or fifteen whites, the
remainder being negroes and slaves 1t is impos-
sible however, at the present moment to ascertain
with accuracy either the names Of those who persisted
or Of their number, the register having been lost
We understand that all the officers of the Buckeye were
saved and ALL nearly ALL the cabin passengers How
time. seems almost miracle The mate of the De Soto
we learn, picked up thirty forty by of the
yawl and the remainder struggled board with what
clothes they had on somehow other great many of
the survivors were brought down by the DeSoto and still
greater number landed at different points the river
several OF the passengers mourning the loss of
their children Major King lost two, Mr. White one and
Mr. Hines one We regret our inability to give the
oil the survivors in FULL so many having remained
young gentleman and his sisters had taken
but few hours before at Whites landing and both
perished The wife and child of Mr. j. Blunt with
negroes were lost Mckenzie lost his wife, chill
den and four negroes Mr. Beand attempted swim ashore
with his nephew on his back They both drowned.
We shall add this account Of the disaster such paricu
lars as we may gather during the day From what we
can gather at this moment would appear that blame
whatsoever can be attached to Captain Reed OF the De
Soto. We append some certificates that effect, signed
by few Of the survivors We, the passengers board
the Buckeye from New Orleans bound to Oacha consider
It our dutyand seize upon this opportunity to state
that in the unfortunate collision between the Buckeye
and the De Soto, this morning, by which the Buckeye
Immediately sunk that all praise is due to Captain
Reed and his crew for the prompt and efficient manner
which they came to the of life and property anil
for the humane and gentemanly conduct OF the Captain
