"NUMBER ONE."

The New York correspondent of the Daily News telegraphing on the 23rd Slay, states:—"Tynan is living at 191 AVest Baltic-street, Brooklyn. The Irish driver of a carriage, avlio took him there f.iom Dr. AVilliams's house, betrayed him, and put tho reporters on his track. Tynan refuses to talk with them. An inamatc of the house tells me that Tynan and his family remained in prayer all night Avhen Curlcy and Brady were hanged, observing the hour of execution exactly, allowing for the difference of tho timo between New York and Dublin. Tynan mentions Curlcy and Brady with visible emotion. He says he Avas in the Queen's Sliddlcssex Volunteers at the time of the Phomix Park murders. He had a Sfass said for Otirley's soul on Sunday. Ho had no sympathy Avith liossa, She.iidan, and Walsh, and says they aro notoriety seekers, avlio injure Ireland. Tynan is evidently perplexed by the silence of the British authorities. Both he and his Avifo are suffering from the suspense. The newspapers had been making great efforts to discover Tynan's Avhercabouts. Several pretended to have found the house, but did not agree as to its position. Alleged intervioAVS have been published, but they are undoubtedly false. Pryor says the published interviews are inventions and that Tynan will make no statement till arrested. He aviis firmly convinced Avhen he announced himself ready to surrender that a Avarrant had been issued for his arrest, and aviis greatly surprised by the British Consul's assertion that no Avarrant had been issued. Dr AVilliams, avlio has been intimate with Tynan, says that Carey invented 'Number One,' and aviis himself the main mover of the Phoenix Park murders. Tynan has been supposed by the British Government to bo that 'Number One,' but now they think they have made a mistake. Tynan undoubtedly believes himself the man Carey referred to. There are many theories about his conduct in offering to give himself up. One is that he thought himself safe after Curlcy and Brady had been hanged. -It will be noticed that he revealed himself immediately after Curley's execution. This may parfially explain his course, but I know that the principal reason avus his wife's importunity. Late this (AVednesday) afternoon Tynan sent Avord to all the newspaper offices of this city and Brooklyn, requesting a reporter to be sent to his house. The reporters assembled there iv large numbers. When Tynan showed himself he said that, on the advice of his counsel, he had decided to make no statement, though he had expected to do so when he sent for the representatives of the Press."
