BALTIMORE CORRESPONDENCE.
BALTIMORE. May ITO P

BALTIMORE, May lf-ioT-"'
A most melancholy and distressing ac-
cident occurred here this afternoon, which
has deprived two valuable and highly
esteemed citizens of their lives. A heavy
thunder storm came up about 4 clock
7 In the afternoon, accompanied with strong
wind. During its prevalence, Mr. Will
son l.. Lloyd, of the firm of McElderry &
LLOYD, and Henry Atkinson, their clerk
were in small building used as a count
ing-room. The brick wall of one of the
warehouses on Light street wharf, burnt
last Sunday night, was blown over, and,
falling on the roof, crushed the building
to atoms, killing the above named gentle
men instantly They were both sitting
at their desks writing at the time, and
unconscious even of danger until the mo-
ment their spirits entered into eternity.
So sudden was the transition from life to
death that it is presumed they knew not
what produced it. Their heads and bodies
were crushed upon the desks, and thence
to the earth, dreadfully mangled. When
discovered, they were buried beneath an
immense mass of ruins. Both have left
wives and interesting families of children
to deplore their loss. Mr.. Lloyd was
probably fifty, and Mr.. Atkinson, per-
haps, forty-fve years of age.
/ observe that Matt. Ward, murderer
Of Professor Butler, has published card
in the New Orleans papers, requesting a
suspension of public opinion until his
orn unbiased report of the late trial
shall have been officially published. IN
til that inhuman assassin can make it
appear that he did not kill Mr.. Butler,
and that some one else did, public opin-
ion will be neither changed nor sus-
pended from the just current into which
it has fallen. He has foully escaped a
Just retYibutinn. and it is.well he has
eensl bility enough left to fel the sting
and torture of outraged Justice as thew
rise up from an indignant world. Let
him ask the heart-broken widow and
orphans of the murdered dead to suspend
their opinions. Their lips NAV, in pity.
be sealed, and their language inaudible,
but silent voice will whisper condem-
nation To his heart so long as the memory
of sin dwells IN guilty conscience.
Let him repent, and resolve to atone so
far as in his power, for innocent blood
Wantonly shed. Let him show that there
may be some remnant of humanity in
ms fallen nature. Let him bow to the
dust in humility-acknowledge his guilt
like 4 man, and whilst luxuriating in
wealth, extend the secret hand of charity
TO those whom his rashness has deprived
of father, husband and protector. This
done, the world may ameliorate its opin-
ION, but under no other circumstances.
The severe storm operated seriously
against Jenny Busk's concert. l believe
she designs repeating it.
Those sprightly and talented little che
rubs, the Boon children, give an enter
tainment at the Charles street theatre to-
morrow night. They are highly spoken
of, and | have no doubt will be we'll pa-
tronized.
A new feature in the shape of trotting
race baltimore nags) comes off at the
Hlppodrome tomorrow afternoon, after
which the concern closes. RODER1CK.

Near the banks of that lone river,
Where the water lilies grow,
Breathed the falrest flower that ever
Bloomed and faded years ago.
How we met and loved and parted,
None on earth can never know
Nor how pure and gentle-hearted
Beamed the mOuTned one years 49,
Like the stream with lilies laden,
Will life's future current flow,
Till in heayea I meet the maiden
Fondly cherished years ago.

They're the same in veal or woe;
And that star OF memory set not
In the grave of years ago.
