The '''second Lord Melbourne ministry''' was formed in the [[United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland]] by the [[William Lamb, 2nd Viscount Melbourne]] in 1835.
==History== Lord Melbourne's second government came to power after Sir [[Robert Peel]]'s [[Conservative Government 1834-1835|minority government]] resigned in 1835. [[Henry John Temple, 3rd Viscount Palmerston]] returned as [[Foreign Secretary (United Kingdom)|Foreign Secretary]] while [[Lord John Russell]] held his first major office as [[Home Secretary]].
In 1837 [[Queen Victoria]] succeeded to the throne, and as was usual for a [[queen regnant]], the [[Royal Household]] was appointed by the prime minister. The young queen was so attached to her [[British Whig Party|Whig]] [[ladies of the bedchamber]] that after Melbourne's resignation in 1839, she refused to let Sir Robert Peel replace them with Conservative ladies. This was known as the [[Bedchamber Crisis]], and led to Peel's refusal to form a government. Melbourne therefore resumed, and continued in office until the Conservatives finally won a [[British House of Commons|House of Commons]] majority in the [[1841 United Kingdom general election|General Election of 1841]]. He was succeeded by Sir Robert Peel's [[Conservative Government 1841-1846|second government]].
== 1841 votes of no confidence== {{main|June 1841 vote of no confidence in the government of Lord Melbourne|August 1841 vote of no confidence in the government of Lord Melbourne}} The 1841 votes of no confidence against the government of Viscount Melbourne were [[votes of no confidence]] in the government of [[William Lamb, 2nd Viscount Melbourne]] which occurred on 7 June 1841.<ref>{{cite web|title=British parliamentary timeline 1828 – 1900 <!-- BOT GENERATED TITLE -->|url=http://www.pdavis.nl/TimeLine.htm|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20090331223544/http://www.pdavis.nl/TimeLine.htm|archivedate=31 March 2009|url-status=live|accessdate=2009-06-01}}</ref> Melbourne lost the vote by only one vote and dissolved [[Parliament of England|Parliament]] leading to an election in July 1841. Melbourne lost a second vote of confidence shortly after the election in August, leading to his resignation.
