METROPOLITAN THEATER.

MISS NAKEAHs DEBUT AT THE METROPoLITAS.-
new ospirdRte for Thespic honors, Miss Makeah
of Georgia we believe, made her appearance last
night at the Metropolitan. The play was IagomGr,
translation Of Frederick Hams Son Of The Wider
mesa charming production, and remarkably well
adapted for exhibiting the talents OF debutante, rs
the heroine appears every scene, from first to last.
The house was crowded. and when Miss Makeah
made her sppt arance in The first scene, she well
coined with a warmth and coriislity which showed
tina. the sympathy OF the audience with her. She
seemed bu little embarrassed and went through with
her part with more nerve than is usual for debut.
Her reading OF Partleaid eynced a careful study of
the part but occasionally lacked spirit and ABANDON
The more passionate passages were rather tamely
given-a defect easily remeded, since the usual
tepcecv is to err on the other side. There was
nothing approaching rant in Miss Mekeahs act
ing and in those scenes where PGTtkeHd ex-
ercses her fascination on the barbarian
IagOmar she wss simple, natural and pleasing. She
satisfied US best in the second act in which, also, Mr..
Marshall. as IngOmar, made the best impression.
Mrs Makeah has an agreeable face is rather large in
person, and when the ewkwardness consequent to n
want Of familiarity with stage business shall have
been overcome, will make good appearance in
comedy. We do not think she would be likely to
succeed so well in the great tragic roles Her voice
lacks depth and power for the expression of passion,
while in subdued, playful passages it is sympathetic
and agreeable She called out at the end of the
first act again at the end Of the second act. and at
the clo,e of the performance, when SO many bouquets
were showered upon the stage, that both Mr.. Mar
shall and the debutan:e had thr full and
embarrassed how to bear OFF the spois. The latter
has every reason to be listed with her reception,
which could not well have been more cordial. We
trust il will stimulate to deserve, by careful study
and devotion TO her art, continuance Of public
favor.
Mr.. Marshall, who took the part of Iagomar, made
his appearance after absence of five years from
tie Now-York stage. He was unequal in his per-
Torrance, which had good points, but was marred by
an occasional procvty TO the Kirby style for which
the Bowery was once noted. He much better
in the second and third than in the later
All the other parts of the play were inadequately
filed, and the scenery and dresses were unworthy
theeter claiming the position OF the Metropolitan. Let
US have little reform in this respect, Messrs. Man
ayers After Mrs Makeah hal finally retired Mr..
Ey,inge appeared and announced that her engage
Inent would be continued for two weeks. Mr.. Mar
shall was then called out, and thanked his friends in
a neat speech. Tonight Much Ado about Nothing
will be given with Miss Mskeah as Beatrice and Mr..
Eytipge as BeHeGtck.

ness of youth, the impulse Of health, and the exuber
ant feeling OF enc whose heart in her business. Her
likeness to Queen Victoria, as spoken Of, appears
a true bill. She does bear the semblance of
English royalty at this instant. Her figure ia round
and petite-her face blooming, her action lively.
Her voice is complete. full soprano, rich and mel.
low in tone, and cultivated by Italian method. She
executes well the brilliant portions Of her part not
withdrawing the wretched translation, which is
equally devoid Of verbal skill and musical economy.

DESTRUCTION OF A STEAMER--TWENTY-
THREE LIVES LOST.

DETROIT, Monday, Oct 2, 1854.
Last night the steamer E. X Colnsl left this port
between 10 and II o'clock, with large number OF
passengers on board bound from the Saul st. Marie to
Cleveland.
About midnight, when little below Maiden near
the lighh at the mouth of the river the vessel
was discovered to be fire, AMI before she could be
got ashore che was completely enveloped in flames.
The greatest CONSERVATION prevailed among the
passengers, most of whom, aroused from their sleep
by the fearful alarm, wildly about the decks or
plunged at once into the water
Twenty three persons persisted by fire or drowning.
The names Of those missing, IA far as can be as
oertsned are IA follows:
Mr. Dibbe of New-York Samuel Powell, Lawrence
Whalon Thomas Cook, the Pittsburgh Railroad
Agent, all of Cleveland; Mrs. McNeilly Mr.. Wat
rous and child of Ashtabula.
The body of the child has been recovered. Fifteen
Of the crew are missing. Among the passengers from
the East saved are +. Dubois, Philadelphia Mr..
Patterson Of Westfeld Chautauque County.
large number of passengers from the Sault left
the vessel at Detroit.
The origin of the fire has not been ascertained.
The Collins took fire on the boiler deck, and SO
rapid the spread of the flames that the passen-
gers and crew were unable to save anything except
the clothes they had on
Immediately after the fire was discovered the boat
headed for the shore but unable to reach shallow
water before the flames had complete possession of
her. The after part of the boat then swung round
into the river, and nearly all board being driven
to that part of the boat, were compelled to jump into
the water The current here runs out very strongly
INTO the lake, and very few would have been saved
had not Capt Langley Of the propeller Fintry FORUM
a.ly seen the light and fastened to the rescue. All
The boats Of the propeller were manned and sent off,
and nearly every soul saved was through their instru
mentality The few that reached shore wer, in COM
ple,ely exhausted condition. Some wretch robbed
one Of the sufferers of $50.
The Collins came out as new steamer last Oeo-
Der. She cost sl05,OoO, and she was insured To-
$4,000 only in the following Offices In the Merean-
