To several gentlemen in Buffalo belongs the credit of having first brought out Miss Greenfield in the concert-room. The Buffalo papers took the matter in hand, and assured the public they had much to expect from a concert from this vocalist.

Greenfield of the city of Buffalo, and being desirous of having her sing in Rochester, request that she will give a public concert in this city at an early day, and feel confident that it will afford a satisfactory entertainment to our citizens." (Signed by a large number of the most respected citizens of Rochester.) ROCHESTER, Dec. 6, 1851.

Miss Greenfield has received from all who have heard her the name of being a vocalist of extraordinary power. Speaking of her concert in Buffalo, "The Express" says,--
