There had been an exceptionally bad harvest and the potato disease in Ireland seemed to threaten a terrible period of high prices and possible starvation. Wellington, believing the step to be inevitable, yielded in spite of his aversion, because he wished to maintain a Conservative Government for the sake of the Queen and of the religious and other ancient institutions of the country. Nevertheless Peel had soon to retire and Wellington stated to Her Majesty his intention of withdrawing from the active world of politics. From this time he took no conspicuous part in parliamentary discussions, except upon military matters. It was the calm before the end. Without relinquishing his manifold duties, he retired more into privacy. He had a happy spirit of contentment, which enhanced the enjoyment of life in his latter days.

Walmer, his official residence as Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports, was the most charming marine residence he had ever seen; the Queen herself had nothing to be compared with it.
