BERLIN, Nov. b.
With the close of the railway debate, all interest
in the proceedings of the chambers is at an end. It
is a matter of utter indifference what they may do or
my hereafter. The members may go home at once,
and they will soon be sent hcme. The moat mode-
rate politicians are startled by the tameness with
which the Second Chamber has surrendered the
nati,n unconditionally into the hands of mitisters.
The Central Committee of the Second Chamber for
the scrutiny of the public acmunts, has published a
preliminary report. It proposes that the chambers
ask the government to communicate the estimates for
1830, in order that the committee may be in a condi-
tion to compare them with the accounts of 1849, and
report on both at once. By this means the work of
the committee J...ay be finished by the end of Decem-
ber ; whereas if the estimates are not immediately
communicated, it will be impossible to report on
them in time.
It is understood that the negotiations about the
peace with Denmark are to begin immediately. It is
hoped that Denmark will be found in a conceding
mood : for a blockade of the German seaports mate-
rially diminishes the Sound dues, and the mainte-
nance of the Feet on a star footing presses heavily on
the Danish finances. Prince Frederick of Hesse is
here: as be is heir presumptive both in Electoral
Hesse and Danmark, some political importance at-
taches to his visit.

MIADIROUS ATTACK EPON A TURNKEY BY A
CowvicT U 4 Till MILBANK Pl' ITINTUAT.-41 moat des-
perate and murderous attack, from the effects of which there
is not the htest earthly hopes of the unfortunate victim
ever recovering, was made oa Wednesday afternoon upon
Thomas Hall, one of the warders of the Milbank Prison.
The circumstances are briefly these At about half past four
in the afternoon, John Francis, an incorrigible convict,
returned from the hulks to this prison. lie recruited Hall
to lot him out of his cell, which the warder immediately
complied with, and as he was returning to his all in a minute
or so afterwards, he suddenly iushed upon the warder and
felled him to the ground with a heavy weapon, and Littered
up his murderous attack with a succession of desperate blows
about the head with the same instrument. The attack was
witnessed by some of the other prisoners from the grating
of their calls, but as they had all been locked up with the
exception of French, they wets unable, although willing,
so much were they excited by the cowardly and
ruffianly nature of the attack, to render the unfor-
tunate warder any assistance, although they repeatedly
called to Francis sad iniplcred him to spare the pour man's
lira. Finding their entreaties vain, as the ruffian
*till continued his murderous attack, they rushed to
their windows, when their cries brought some of the other
*Seen to the spot, and the miscreant Francis was still found
standing over his bleeding and prostrate victim. Francis
was immediately neared, and conveyed to the refractory
cell, where he has been deftly guarded ever since. The
unfortunate victim of his diabolical fury was taken up In-
sensible, in which state, notwithstanding the greatest pos-
sible medical attention, he has remained ever since, nor is
there the slightest earthly chance of his recovery, the skull
having been literally beaten in in different pasta, a portion
of the bone of which it has been found neesmary to take
away; and he altogether exhibits the effects of the moat
ferocious violence. We regret to any that in reply to our
inquiries yesterday evening, it was stated that it was maraely
probable that the Toot man, who has a wife and six young
cantina depending apes him fir support, would survive the
night, This is the mooed time the malefactor Francis has
been sent to the MONA Penitentiity, and we understand
that while at the hulks this &verge fellow attempted the
life of the surgeon, upon whore he inflicted scummy serious
injuries.
