DREADFUL MURDER AT BUENOS  AY RES.  The Buenos Ayres papers received by the Sultana bring accounts of several atrocious murders committed in or near that blood-stained city, and amongst them of the butchery of all the members of a Scottish family named Kidd, who were slaughtered in their own house, in the country, in the district of San Vicente, not far from General Rosas' country seat. This family consisted of not less than nine persons, including several young children ! -but neither childhood nor innocence is any protection in a country in which murder has been reduced to a system, and made a common instrument of governing. It is impossible to tell, from the few particulars given in the Buenos Ayrean papers, whether this atrocity was perpetrated by ordinary villians for the purpose of plunder, or whether it was perpetrated by the cut-throats in the payment of the vilest Government on the face of the earth, to terrify Europeans resident in the Republic. The following are all the particulars which we can gather from the Buenos Ayrean papers : " A most horrible murder of a whole Scottish family (named Kidd) of nine persons, adults and children, has been perpetrated in the district of San Vicente. The justice of peace of the district immediately advised the chief of police of the event, who, on the same day (27th) forwarded a note to the judge in criminal cases, and informed the Governor. His Excellency ordered on the same day that the justice of peace should continue the diligent researches which he had no doubt the justice had hitherto made to d scover and apprehend the bar barous wretches, holding him seriously responsible for the least neglect ; that circulars should be forwarded to all the justices of the peace of the country districts, besides those which had been sent by that of San Vicente ; and that the chief of police should redouble his investigations and researches for the discovery and apprehension of the ferocious murderers. On the same day (27th), an individual was apprehended on suspicion in the city, ani placed in the public gaol, at the disposal of the judge in criminal cases, who will occupy himself in this matter in preference to every other. We know that the greatest activity and zeal prevail in order to arrive at the discovery and exemplary punishment of the authors and perpetrators of this atrocious crime to the end that justiee and public security may be satisfied." Since the above article was in type, we have seen a gentleman who learned all the particulars of this monstrous crime from one of the first persons who entered the house after it was committed. He informs us that Mr. and Mrs. Kidd were found in bed with their throats cut from ear to ear ; that the nurse, a young woman of abcut twenty, was found dead on the floor, also with her throat cut, and still clinging to an infant which had been murdered in the same manner ; that a little boy, about four years of age, who had evidently attempted to escape, was found behind the door, with his head nearly severed from his body ; and that every other member of the family had been butchered in the same manner. Our informant says that the universal belief was that this atrocious crime originated-in political motives, and was the result of the malignant hatred of foreigners, which General Rosas has taken so much pains to excite.---Liverpool Times.
