An attempt was made, last Wednesday evening,
to raise a disturbance against Mr. BRAIIAY, for not
appearing in the last Scene of the Fifth Ail of
7be Travel!, r:. There is no Performer on the
Stage who fulfils his duty with more chearfulness
and alacrity, and who is more grateful and resped-
ful towards the public, than Mr. BRAnAY ; his ab-
sence, therefore, in that unmeaning Scene, must have
been with the concurrence of those who have it in their
power to enforce his attendance ; and with that
of the public, who had never, till• that night, ex-
pressed any disapprobation ; though Mr. 811411.414
had not appeared in this Scene, the whole of this
at.d the greater part cf the last. It was
evident, such digit: bocce. proceeded from • few
persons sent in for the purpose, and to giat.fy the
pitiful revenge of a certain incloridu.d. Who of late
has been son liberal in his abuse of Mr. 3sass*ss.
