The Albemarle.

--A correspondent of the Newark Advertiser writes from Plymouth, North Carolina, that he has lately made a visit to the iron-clad Albemarle. He states that a portion of her casemate and a part of her torpedo arrangement on her bow are visible, giving her the appearance of being about sixty feet in length; but the whole length cannot be less than one hundred and seventy-five feet. The parties who made an inspection of the ram on the 8th of this month state that it would cost fifteen or twenty thousand dollars to raise her, and that her hull is in good condition in every part, save where the torpedo sprung her sides — a distance of ten feet in length by four in breadth.
