NEW YORK. The New Penal Code in Praotioal Operation. A &OMEWHAT RACY REPORT. Youk, Dec. 3.—The new penal code of this State forbidding all work on tho Sabbath except in the market*, barber shops, and shops °!'' nature, aud all to be closed at 9 o clock iu the morniug, went into operation at miduight aud notwithstanding the would-be rigorous enforcement of the code, the saloon keepers do uot appear to be affected i ith the ill which lias befallen their less fortunate brothers. Police me u were on the street all daj, but not with the remotest idea of entrap ping the venders of lager beer and spirituous liquofs, hut to see that people iu other kinds of business did not vioiaie the sa' ctity of the Sabbath day. All over the city it was next to impossible to get anything but cigars, beer and whiskey. These necessities were procurable from saloons without limit. It is no exaggera te say that druukeuuess was more prevalent than upon many recent Sundays. Many per sons who would not otherwise think of enter ing the saloons on any other occasion, did so to-day to see whether any harm would befall them or the publicans. Neither were molested. The druggists claimed that they had sold -*boip cigrara to-day tlmu oven Delore. l bey : were fairly overrun by iudividuals who coaid not procure cigars at their regular stauds. All kinds of ridiculous signs are posted upon busi ness places. Around Fifth avenue and Madi son it was easy to fiud barbers who were will ing to take risks at an advanced price for a shave. All the arrests which were made were coofiued to the poorer classes. The police had been told to use their discretion iu making ar rests, and they did not appear to have taken any risks iu the humble prisoners they made. Corporations and every one with any social or political influence were left unmolested. The first arrest, made for violation of the penal code was early this morning when a laborer em ployed by a steam heating company was taken into oust dy. About 200 people were arraigned in the police courts to-day charged with brnak iyg the Sabbath day. These comprised milk meu, grocers, butchers, drivers of express wagons, and other vehicles, bootblacks, news paper venders, peddlers, barbers, ragpickers, cigar dealers, dry goods dealers, Chinese laun drymen, bill posters and others. They were uearlv all discharged with a reprimand. A number of Hebrew storekeepers who were ar arrestet), were also discharged with a caution. They all claimed, as they observed their own Sabbath on Saturday they imagined the law would uot be applicable to their case. They were informed, however, they were mistaken in that idea. The poMce of Brooklyn also enforced the pre- | vHous of the penal code. Storekeepers who kept open were taken into custody, as were also bootblacks, newspaper venders aud rag pickers. The workmen of the Long Island Telephone Company were stopped putting up a pole, but, were finally allowed to go bn when it was explained to the police that this was a case of necessity, Hack drivers were allowed to remain on their stands to attend fuuerals aud special calls, if they did uot obstruct travel.

The report of Green B. Raum, commissioner of internal revenue, has been submitted to the Secretary of the Treasury. The receipts from the internal reveuue taxation for the nasi fiscal year has been about $146,750,000. It is not likely the receipts for the present fiscal year will fall below $145,000,000 should the taxes now imposed be retained Commissioner Ranm thinks that a reduction of from sixty to seventy millions in the annual revenues of the country could be safely entered upon, and in his judgement such reduction is urgently called for. ' This relief as far as possible should fall upon the necessaries of life and upon t.ho-e interests which are of pressing importance to ! th&countrv. The riemaud nf tha tpnr la levia* i -:mi that win reduce the receipts ot ti e paid into j the Treasury without any loss by defalcation. The cost of collection for the past fiscal year will be 3£ per cent on the amount collected. The expenses of collection for the last, six years has been about $27,087,300 or about 3 6 percent on the amount collected, and this sum has been disbursed without Iosb to the govern- j meut. — •THE FIRE RECORD.

Blaine In rela'ion to the proprositlon to appropriate $75,000,000 for the construction of the Inter-Ocean caual iu Nicaragua, as em braced in the Kasson bill am: rep.irt. The re porter asked Mr, Blaine if l.e thought tint Congress would be induced to make a grant? "1 sincerely hope not,” WaS the reply. "I never heard,” “he added,” a more extroardi nary proposition than for us to expend $75, 000,000 in a country where we have no control and where we have a treaty with another coun try biuding u., not to assume control We have no treaty with Nicaragua giving us control of the caual after we shall have con structed it, while we have a treaty with that Country forbidding onr control.

Washington, Dec. 2.—The joint select com* mittee to investigate the causes of decline in American shipping met at the room of the Senate Committee on Commerce to-day. It was a meeting adjourned from Nov. 22d, at which time the committee closed its session in New York. There were present the chairman, Senator Conger, Senator Vest and Representa tives Robeson, Cox, Dingley and Page. Mr. Diugley, from the sub-committee appointed in New York, presented its report on the topics then submitted, accompanied by a bili. The full committee unanimously agreed to the pro visions of the bili. The bill makes important modifications of the laws relating to he pay ment of extra wages to seamen, and provides for the payment of extra wages when a seaman is discharged from au American vessel in a for eign port, only when the vessel is sold, when the voyage is improperly continued beyoud the port to which the seaman shipped, and when the vessel is found by inspectors tube insuffic iently provisioned and the master reiuses to correct the deficiency. It is also provided that when a seaman is injured in the line of duty, contracts disease in consequence of want of proper food on shipboard, the vessel shall be held respons bio for the payment of the ex penses of sickness. The bill also amends st-c tiou 7548 of the Revised Statutes so as to give adequate compensation to vessels for the trans portation of disabled sailors. It also remits all consul fees for service to American ships and TnArnhanto »■» :n- j- —* -, — i r — . «v». u the payment of consuls trorn the United States treasury for such service. It authorizes the importation in bond, free of duty, of ships’ supplies for vessels engaged in the foreign carrying trade, to he u*ed only on foreign voyages. It provides for a reduction of tne Murine Hospital tax on seameu fiom forty cents to twenty cents, as it was before 1871. It abrogates the tonnage on vessels engaged in trade with the Dominion of Canada. It further provides that the liability of a part owner of a vessel shall be limited to the pro portion of all liabilities that his individual share bears to the whole. It amends seetiou 4131 of the Revised Statutes by allowing, in the case of death or disability of one of the mates of a vessel on a foreign voyage, the em ployment of a foreign seaman to supply bis place, if necessary, uutil the vessel returns to the United Stat» s. Assume members of the committee objocted to a report on the above point, upon which the committee is agreed, uutil the wholi question of free ships and free material can be acted upon, no report will be made uutil the whole ground can be covered, which will be likely to defer the report to a late day. The committee adjourned until Monday night. _ HEROIC SERVICE Rendered by the L,ife Saving Service. Phovincetown, Mass., Deo. 3.—The life service was called upon to render a heroic ser vice this morning, which was done by Capt. Young and the cr6w of Station 6. About 3 o’clock Patrolman Cushman saw a vessel in close proximity to the outer bar and immedi ately burned his Bignal light, but the vessel struck at the same minute. Capt. Young was immediately notified and the life boat was launched at once. A tremendous sea was run ning and the boat was twice capsized in the surt. At the third attempt teok tbe boat out a little way when a heavy sea struck her and she was again overturned, throwing tbe crew into the surf. Capt. Young was thrown some dis tance, but fortunately the sea took him so far in shore that he was seized by two of the crew and rescued. The boat was again righted and the fourth attempt proved successful, and after bard efforts they succeeded iu reaching the vessel, which had pounded over tbe bar iu the meantime. The crew of the wrecked vessel was taken off and landed safely. She proved to be the schooner Oliver Ames, of Taunton, Capt. Babbitt, with ice. The mate was on deck at the time of the accident and says they mistook the Race light for the Highland light, and changing the course accordingly the acci dent occurred. The Ames lies in a dangerous position and undoubtedly will go to pieces. FOREIGN. London News Saturday. London, Dec. 2.—Lord Granville received the Madagasca Envoy today.

On account of the government holding the national league responsible for his personal acts, Mr. Davitt has resigned from member ship in the executive committee Death of the Archbishop of Canterbury. London,*Nov. 3 —The Archbishop of Can terbuiy died at 7.15 this morning. The Archbishou ot Canterbury passed away quietly and apparently without suffering in the presence of his three daughters, Mr- David son, his son-in-law, Canon Knollys and Dr. Carpenter. Yesterday he remained in a semi utiroiiBCious stale, occasionally asking for water, about 11 at night he spoke his last words, “It is coming, it is coming.” He was then seized with a sharp spasm and did not speak again although it is believed he was partlv conscious to the end At 7 in the morn ho exhibited signs of dissolution. It is understood that the Dean of West minster on behalf of the Queen has offrred burial for the Archbishop’s remains in West uiius er Abbey. The decision rests with the deceaied’s daughters. Muffled peals were rung in the adjacent town of (Jrogdon, and the Archbishop's d ath was touchingly referred to at the morning services. The Most Rev. Archibald Campbell Tait, D. D., the late Archbishop of Canterbury, was born in Edinburg Dec. 20, 1811, was educated at the University of Edinburg, and at Bolliol College, Oxford. He was made an examiner of the college, and at the commencement of the “Oxford movement” that resulted in the going over to Rome of Dr. Newman and others, lie took strong ground against the Tractarians and remained all his life opposed to the high Church idea in ail its forms. He was admitted to holy orders and in 1842 was appointed to succeed tho celebrated Dr. Arnold as head master of the Rugby School. In 1850 he was made Dean of Carlisle; in 1850 Bishop of Lce doD, and in 1868 Archbishop of Canterbury on the death of Dr. Longley. While Dean of Carlisle he also held the position of Commis sioner of the Oxford University, and when he succeeded Dr. Blomfield as Bishop of London he Bet himself vigorously at work to raise a fund of one million pounds for supplying the deficiencies of church accommodations in Lon don in which undertaking he succeeded. Dr. Tait as Archbishop of Canterbury proved himself fully equal to the demands of the position, and has given to the church a vigor ous aud successful administration. As an author Dr. Tait was industrious, while it can not be said that bis writings were entitled to take high rank as literary productions. He published beside numerous essays and sevt*ral volumes of sermons the following books: “The Dingers and Safeguards of Modern Theology” (1861) and “The Word of God and the Ground of Faith” (1863.) Dr. Tait had been failing for some time, and for the ten days previous to his death it was understood that he could not recover, a fact of which he was fully aware and ou Friday last took his final farewell of his servants aud intimate friends.- Ed.
