Divide mirror port traffic to balance load

I have configured the mirror port on Cisco switch and the Average data-flow in that port is 1 Gbps
i want to run wireshark on this data but my pc is having 100Mbps speed
so is their any way to connect to mirror port to another Cisco switch and divide 1Gbps data flow to 100Mbps X10 port which will connect to 10 100Mbps PC to view all data in wireshark?

You can't do it as much as I know. Speed on target port should be equal or greater to source port.
This is what documentation says about it:

is there any hardware which i can place in middle and then get the distributed traffic based on any filter?
Not that I am aware of, but I guess not. Most likely it would be cheaper to add another manageable switch and PC for that purpose in the case of need for your needs, than specialized device for that purpose.
