Resignation and speech mark Whig ministry shift in Parliament
The Weekly Chronicle reports the formal resignation of the Whig ministry announced in both Houses by Lord Melbourne and Lord John Russell. Lord Russell’s remarks praise Melbourne and outline Whig policy ending with Free Trade, while Conservative responses praise ministers but doubt future policy, warning that Duke of Buckingham’s cabinet role signals landowner dominance and potential continued protectionist measures. The piece cautions the public to rely on constituencies, not Parliament, to drive change as potential reforms toward Corn Laws are seen as only nominal.
