As Bagga mentioned, did you replace the main breaker? If you did, then it is time to start looking for a dead short. D

Even if the breaker was bad it would not cause the sparking...you should have some other breakers...disconnect them one at a time, and see which one eliminates the sparking...

This will give you a clue which circuit has the short...
