PHILADELPHIAs MAY S-P. M. ATTEMPT TO MURDER MAYOR ScorT !-Our city was thrown into excitement about o. clock this afternoon, by an attempt having been made upon the life of our worthy May or, JOHN M. ScorT, Esq. The facts are these: About half past one. an Italian named Adol- phus Benedict Ptolemius, called into the May OTIS office, and asked fer his Honor. He was shown into the private office, where the May or was then sitting, and was recognized as person upon whom Mir. Scott had frequently bestowed pecuniary aiG. His object, it is presumed, was to solicit again the ever-wil- ling hand of his honor, but whilst going from his room towards the outside of the hall the villain discharged a pistol loaded with ball at the Mayor! The contents, however, were productive of only flesh wound, having glazed the back. being stopped in its progress by suspender button! Ptolemius was inc stantly seized, but as he was unable to speak a word of English, it was found impossible to assign any motive for his murderous attempt upon the life of his best friend.

 A Shock of an Earthquake was felt at Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, on the 18th ult.- The Yarmouth Herald says: "At low water little before dusk on Tuesday evening. QSth) the tide suddenly rushed in, in the space Of few minutes, to the height of from five to seven feet. and immediately re- ceded with equal rapidity, dragging some | small craft from their moorings and leaving l the flats again bare. The whole took place | in about twenty minutes. At Bunker's Is- land and the Cove we understand the water rose ten feet"

 The following is an extract of letter ad- dressed to the editor of the Yarmouth Her ald;

 The scr. Bee, coming in from fishing, and arriving at the entrance of Cooks harbor, B. bout o'clock P. M. it being low water. and there being little or no wind, and smooth sea, was struck with dreadful shocks, being in mid channel. All at once heard loud roa ring of the tide coming in; the vessel shook with great violence, as if beating over large rocks. We expected her masts would go over, and that she would crash to pieces, and had great difficulty in keeping ourselves on deck. The tide rose about ten feet. and then went out to low water mark, leaving us high and dry at the top of the beach. We found her keel and rudder split. one of her butts started. and great part of her oakHm wren- l ched out.
