QUOTATIONS.
Sikh as he appears in this Colony will thoroughly endorse our contemporary's remarks. Admirable as soldiers, expert as swordsmen and true as steel to the leader who commands them, the very qualities which earned for them the de- signation of the most terrible cavalry our troops ever encountered ont of Europe are drawbacks when concealed beneath the policeman's cloak. The fiery courage and brilliant swordmanship which made then the admiration of our Indian forces even when enemies, requires qualities of a precisely opposite nature to those in- dispensable in the guardians of public peace in whom coolness and discretion are se important as personal courage and ebedience. But the chief complaint against Mr Creagh's Sikh police" has to do with a matter for which indeed neither he nor they are responsible their ignorance of both the English and and Chinese languages. What would be thought of the intelligence of a Police Commissioner in Australia who placed Russians, or Italians or men. of any European country with no knowledge whatever of the English language, 8 policemen in the frequented the ronghfares of Melbouris or Syd- Day Yet this is just what the Benzies, New,
