GUY FAWKES.
HISTORICAL TRADITIONS. 'Times' —'Sydney Sun' Special Cables. (Received Last Night, 5.5 o'clock.) LONDON, November 6. In connection with the opening of the dungeons beneath the White Tower and the "Bloody" Tower, where Guy Fawkes was immured in the narrow black recess between the two dungeons, "the rack, thumb screws, temple bands and searing irons are still hanging on tho wall. A few yards away Sir Walter Raleigh spent ten years, overlooking the spot where the equestrian statue of Queen Elizabeth stands, wearing the robe in which she went to St. Paul's to celebrate the defeat of the Spanish Armada. Tradition says that seven hundred Jews seeking refuge from the London mob spent long days and nights huddled together in the dungeons. The ""Bloody" Tower, in the days of Edward 111., is believed to have been the scene of the murmurs of Edward, the fifth Duke of York, and Henry the Sixth.
