PARISIAN THEATRICALS.

All sorts of pieces de circonstance were brought out on Saturday at all sorts of theatres in honour of the Imperial christening. In one of these, played at the Varietes, the present Emperor himself figures as the bene- factor of a poor woman, to whose child he stands godfather on condition that it shall be christened on the 14th of June.

The Marino Faliero of Casimir Delavigne has been revived at the Porte Saint Martin, with M. Ligier in the chief character.
