The new productions of the week are few and trivial.
At the Adel- phi a comic burletta by BCCKSTONE, called The Christening, introduced to the audience the droll little author and the pretty Mrs. HONEY for the first time this season. BM:STONE is the papa of' the child to be chris- Wired ; WirsassoN the involuntary and extempore godfather; Mrs. KEELEY the godmother ; and Mrs. DALY the nurse. The reader may fancy the rest ; or what is best, go and see the fun. A christening is a fruitful source of jokes at alt times ; and on this occasion they are in plenty,—a little too broad now and then ; hut Adelphi audiences are not squeamish. The Adelphi burlettas seem to be endowed with a contractile power: they sl o:ten, week after week, at the Manager's convenience, like an opera-glass. At first time Black Hand and the Chain of Gold lasted the whole evening; last week the burlesque was introduced between; and this week the Christening has been added. YATES announces an- other principal novelty for Monday. He's an indefatigable fellow.
